Over the Halfway point. I'm still on plan but man is it still tough. I don't think it is because of hunger as much as it is this God Awful after taste from the Optifast. I am so looking forward to surgery which is exactly 2 weeks from today. At least then I will be off this optifast and have a little something different. Broth or anything allowed on my liquid diet after surgery would be a vast improvement. I'm telling myself to hang in there. It's like the nasty medicine we were given as kids. Though it was almost unbearable, somehow it always made us feel better. Which amazingly enough I am already beginning to feel a difference and able to do more physically already.

Ugh.  I remember the after taste.   Disgusting.   

If you're drinking the vanilla flavor, try adding lemon juice or a little bit of lemonade crystal light (or any other crystal light flavor).  It helped me get through it.

I got mostly Chocolate, with some Vanilla and Strawberry, it's to the point they all taste the same :)
