hi i am on optifast for 3 months before my lap band surgery, as i was told i had to loose 20 kgs before they would do the surgery.i find that the vanilla shakes are better with a peice of fruit in them i.e. a banana. also we can get frozen berries over here in australia and i put 1/2 cup of them in it as an alternative, the i can have another cup at lunch time.  if you are aloud fruit. also i use my processer and slice all my salad up like coldslaw, but i put everything in it that i can like lettuce, tomatos, capsicum, celery, grated carrot, cabbage etc. as i am only aloud to have 1 cup of salad at a time, (total of 3 cups per day) i thought that would be the best way to have as much as i could in that cup.the first 2-3 days were dreadful..... i suffered servere headaches and i was sooooooo hungry, but i got through it, and yesterday we had the family here and i was so out of routine that we had takeaway for tea. i had a hamberger and i couldn't eat it all!!!!! (before i would have eaten it and also a big serve of hot chips/french fries) so it must be working. this first week i have lose 4.5 kg's which is a start.
