Start of week two of two of Opti and down 11lbs!

Morning all , Just wanted to say so far so great on Opti. I started at 273 and as of this AM i'm 262! 

 

The head hunger and desire to cheat finally ended, I think the long weekend was a great test of will and i'm happy to report other then my clinic allowed SF jello and drink mix I'm doing well .managed to get 4 shakes a day in on 6 of the first 7 days!

 

Like many I'm worried my liver won't shrink enough in only two weeks of opti but at least i can say i'm honestly trying my best.

WTG, I have kept busy cleaning, reading, and cooking for the next stages today makes day seven for me too.  Once you get that date things seem to move so quickly.

Well done Army Guy!  Keep hanging in there!  Your surgery day will be here in no time and opti will be but a fleeting memory!  You can do it!

I start my two weeks on Wednesday.  I have no idea what to expect.  How long did the craving for real food last?  How does the opti fast taste?  Do you add anything to it?

The cravings started to die down on day 4, this weekend was my first time out around town and food so it was tough , even made it thru a movie with my wife eating popcorn next to me.

 

I only have two weeks of opti so i picked all Choc. I tried mixing Crystal lite with it once but honestly i really love the tase of it plain with water and crushed ice. 

 

No changes to my bathroom routine and happy to report alot less gas then usual :) 

 

 

That's great! Way to go. I have 2 teenagers and a 4 year old in my house so there is food everywhere...so I'm going to look forward to day 4 lol

I'm not a fan of crystal light in anything. I'm debating between choc and van since most people I've talked to said the choc wasn't very good.

Best of luck!

I would get some of both because the vanilla Opti is easily flavoured whereas I found the only real thing that went well with the chocolate Opti was Da Vinci SF Hazelnut syrup.

Good Luck.

Jenn.  :)

Keep up the good work Army guy! You must be getting excited being so close to your surgery date.

Can you tell me what centre you will be going through? Did the Kingston office allow you go choose only chocolate opti??

I listened to the folks who said chocolate wasn't good and got all vanilla. had my first shake this morning and could barely get it down. I added some banana extract and that made it a bit better. added crystal light to the next one and could only drink half. haven't had another one since
army guy- how are you getting them down?
