I start Opti on July 8. Last night, my sister arranged for a group of my friends to get together and have some "last call" beverages. My friends surprised me with a very generous gift of a Vitamix blender and some very lovely words of encouragement. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful caring people in my life who are rooting for me.

I hope you all have a loving and generous support system. If you are feeling alone in this monumental life change, reach out to the board, send someone a private message. Send me a private message! We are all going through it and we can all share the love.

Nice friends! That's awesome that you have such a support system. This is a tough journey without it. I'm very lucky to have a supportive hubby and mom.

What a perfect gift. You are very lucky to have people who care. Good luck with the opti just remember the colder it is the better it will taste

Vitamix blenders crush ice like there's no tomorrow. It'll come in handy not only for Opti but full fluids and purees down the road. So nice to have caring and thoughtful friends!
