1st day of Opti done.....Don't know if I can do this (maybe tmi)
So I got my 1st 3 Opti shakes in. First 2 went ok other then the taste. The last one around 8 last night whole different story. I got a severe migraine then felt nauseous all night long. Each time I woke up my body would shake thinking of the Opti. At 6 this morning I got up went to the bathroom. Went and laid back down then bam! Started throwing up but it was mostly dry heaves. Then during this it decided it would start on the other end. I feel AWFUL! Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal. Will I go thru this for 3 weeks?

The first few days can be hell. Headaches and diarrhea are common, and migraines and nausea/vomiting go hand in hand for me, but fortunately they don't continue for the duration. You should probably check with your doctor just to be sure though. Once you get past those first few days, the rest is relatively easy.
