PATTS and starting Opti tomorrow - HELP!
Bleh, just made a chocolate w. a bit of decaf coffee crystals. Not sure about this one! LOL But I'm a trooper. I can down 2L of barium in 35 mins, I can do this!

I was thinking of buying syrups but I didn't want that much sweetener, since the Opti already is sweetened. I figured worse comes to worse the extracts could always be used in future cooking/baking (for others), and I can mix the Mio and C-light with water for clear fluids. I kind of liked the maple-vanilla combo this morning, but choco-coffee? Maybe with a tonne more ice.
Oh yes, I've heard this recommended! I'll try that tomorrow. I have had two chocolate/one vanilla so far. I didn't get all four in yesterday so I'm determined to do so today.

Yeah, I think I'd find the first meeting more helpful too. I just need to get in the habit of going. I wonder if they will let me go down to the first one in May? I'll be in the hospital, day after my surgery... hahaha, I can wheel in my IV ;)
