Pre Op Visit at St. Joe's went great, Day 1 of Opti today...ick!

Hi Michele,

I'm on my last shake of Day 1 and find if I use a shaker cup that holds over 2 cups, and fill half with 1 cup of water, then add the shake powder, then fill the rest with ice and shake it until it's completely blended and cold, it goes down easier.  I'm really looking forward to getting home to my blender so I can blend the ice right in, like a smoothie.

It's not tasty but at I find it is a lot better when icy cold. I also discovered I like the plain vanilla better than the vanilla with coffee granules.  The smell is horrible though, isn't it.? The shaker cup helps because it blocks most of the smell.

I don't blame you for crying on day 1.  I didn't cry but I would have cried if I would have been on this over the holidays, while the rest of my family was eating roast turkey :-).  

How long  do you have to take this?  I have to do 3 weeks.  21 days.  20 to go, lol.

We can do this!  I bought two cases of premier protein for after surgery.  I sure hope that will taste better.

Good luck to you too.

Kathy
