Today marks one week of Optifast down the hatch. I was a little concerned after reading some of the comments here about the taste, but really don't find it too bad. I use strong coffee instead of water with the vanilla, some Splenda and it's close enough to an ice-cap for me. I will be banded next Friday, the 28th, hope if any of you reading, in the same boat will respond.

I wish I liked coffee to have helped me out with the Optifast... I'm really glad you like it!! Good luck with your surgery on Friday!!

I'm leaving on Thursday, making the drive to Toronto is about 10 hours for me, two days left. Guess I'll have to wait and see if I meet any of you down there. I must be weird cause I'm in Optifast heaven, last night,.... I added a little pure vanilla extract, Splenda, ice and nutmeg to the vanilla Optifast, OH.......MY.....GOD. I kinda wish I could just stay on this longer! lol

Hi Beau,

Good luck on Friday! I also liked both the vanilla and chocolate Optifast and am a little sorry that I can't drink a whole serving in one shot now that I am banded.
