Hey everyone.  This is my first post, although I've been "stalking" this forum for a few weeks.  I'm an elementary teacher from Brampton with 2 kids (both girls, ages 4 and 6). Today is my first day of this amazing journey.  My surgery date is April 24 at St Michaels with Dr Grantcharov, and today I started Opti (doing 3 weeks). It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but we will see how I feel in a week or two!   So excited to finally get going!

Some people actually liked the opti. Do you want to be included on the surgery list?

I bought it at Walmart. In the baking section. Really good with the chocolate shake
