So I'm on shake 3 of my first day on opti and it's definitely not my favorite thing but I will manage. I do start to feel hungry an hour before my shake so I've been keeping myself busy cleaning during that hour. Today I went through my closet and drawers. I bagged up all my "fat clothes" for donation. I also put all my "skinny clothes" into a box in the basement so I don't focus on them every day. While cleaning out my closet I found a bag from camping this past summer that still had a few clothes in it. It also had an half full jar of freakin Nutella in it. I ran it to the sink and dumped soap and ho****er in it immediately. Nutella is my favorite damn food and I was so hungry I almost cried lol. Needless to say I'm sticking to it and so far have been lucky enough to avoid the dreaded optitrots. 7 hours and 1 shake until bedtime. I can make it.

I used 1 cup of water + 1 cup of ice in the blender -- pretty easy for me to gulp down. Found something for you once you are well post op: http://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/sugar-free-homemade-nute lla-dairy-free-low-carb/

Haah !!!! Yup..... Nutella can have that effect on people!!! You must admit now after the fact that avoiding it all together must have gave you a bit of a rush??? Its that feeling of POWER over food that starts to become really addictive. Its a great feeling!!!

Keep up the good work! & YES....you sure CAN MAKE IT !!!!

I definitely got a rush after I got rid of it. I have been in this determined to stick to it head space and hopefully I stay in it. I've waited way too long to screw up this close to surgery that's for sure.

don't put those skinny clothes to far way you will need them much quicker than you think and will pass the need for them even quicker. If you don't keep trying them on and get the use out of them as soon as you can you will suddenly try them on and they will be already too big :)
