So tired on Opti

Anyone else find they get quite tired while on the Opti? I am only on day three and feel exhausted, Yesterday I had a three hour nap and still went to bed early. When I woke up this morning I felt like I could use a nap shortly after. My 3 yr old wants to play but I barely have the energy. Another weird thing is I was fine with Opti the first two days, even loved it. Now my stomach seems very upset after I drank it. Anyone else experienced this? Or am I just  plain crazy lol

I'm not sure any of us are qualified to state whether you're plain crazy, special crazy or simply crazy (and we do not play a psychiatrist on the net) but folks reactions to optifast run the gambit of yum, meh, gross, headaches, vomiting, runs/trots, etc.  You name it and its been here I think.  Enjoy the ride, keep your eye on the prize!  

I found that I was really tired for the first few days that I was on the Opti-fast.  It seemed to get better towards the end of the first week, though.  I think that part of it was the absence of caffeine in my day.  I was so used to having the mid-afternoon coffee to keep me going during the day.

I was able to tolerate the Opti....but I had to blend it with ice.  If I simply mixed it with water, I could not drink it.

Hope you find a way to make it tolerable to you....remember, it is only a couple of weeks out of the rest of your life ;)

OPTI chocolate is sooooo much better whipped as hot chocolate. that is what got me thru my two weeks of it. I was a bit tired...but try to get your 4 in a day...I never did the whole two weeks I was on it....never had more than 3 in a day.

yes, i am very tired from opti. 

the first 3 days i actually noticed increased energy.  but by day 5/6 my energy seemed to plummet.  

tomorrow is my last day and i am still quite exhausted on it.  

you are far from crazy, nadira.  you can tough it out!!  :)

I'm not tired of the Opti, I'm tired of jello!!!!!  (one more week to go!)

Opti fast is a meal replacement, it doesn't necessarily cover all the vitamins etc that your body needs..being in Ontario and the fact that many people are Vitamin D deficient and don't even know it,

that could be the problem..it's not necessarily your Opti causing your tiredness. 

The only way to know for certain is to have blood drawn...
