Thanks so much girl! Your friendship means a lot to me, and I appreciate all your support.

I'm so excited our surgeries are so close together so our stages will be so close together too. Extra support!!

One week left of Opti. You've been doing amazing. You're almost at the finish line now... and amazing things are on the horizon. :)

Thank you so much!!! I'll probably change my mind as I get closer to surgery but Opti is the thing I am most nervous about!!! I don't do well with processed foods, and I'm so worried I'm going to hate it!!!

I'll do it anyway of course! I bought ice today. I brewed a pot of coffee too, and will add cold coffee in the hopes that flavours it nicely.

Cross your fingers for me!!!

Thanks Allyce! It was a cancellation. They aren't giving out surgery dates right now but they are trying to fit in as many people as they can...

YAY - that is fantastic news! Opti is actually the easiest part of this for now. It will be a hard first few days but I am confident that you can push through. Drink the shakes really cold and with a straw, drink lots of water and rest. YOU GOT THIS!!!

TOGETHER we can be BETTER

Best, MJ

Thanks MJ! First one wasn't too bad. I'm sure it gets harder as hunger sets in but I was really worried about the taste. At least I know I can handle that part of it. :)
