When you least expect it...

Hi everybody,

I'm a strong believer in things happening when you least expect them to...that was the case when I got a call today at work as I was swamped and didn't think for a minute that it was "the call".

But it was!!!!!!! My surgery is booked for January 10, 2012.

24 months after I was placed on the hospital list. What a journey this is becoming, I'm sooooo looking forward to sitting on that losers bench...so move over and please make a little room for me

Now I will be starting on that lovely Optifast next week so can you all remind me of the syrop you put in it to make it taste decent and where to buy it. I know that it's been written here before but wouldn't know where to look.

Thanks a bunch everyone!
Hugs,
Ada

 So happy for you!!! The next month or so will be tough, but then your life is going to change so much and for the better!  So get ready for happiness because you deserve it!

As for the syrup, I bought mine at Starbucks. In the sugar-free category they have hazelnut, caramel and vanilla. My favorite recipe was half a chocolate envelope, half a vanilla envelope, 4 shots of hazelnut and 4 shots of caramel! Plein de saveurs!!

Good luck on your Optifast diet and remember: this too shall pass!!

Take care,

Ana

Hi Ada,

That's great news... One month to go and we will all be moving over to make room for you.
What a great way to start the new year!!!

I bought my syrup on line the Davinci syrups. But I like Ana's idea better.

Hang in there this month and let us know how your doing.

Cindy

Woohoooooooo!!!!!!

Good luck!!!! Cant wait to hear about your expereince!

That is awesome, Ada, I am very happy for you! January 10 is almost around the corner!

Cheers,

Monica

P.S. I've just sent you a PM about some protein products you  might be interested in.

Great news!
The time has finally come...You've been sooo patient!
2012 will definitely be a good year for you, my friend!

Keep us posted!

 Hurray!!!!

That is awesome news - that's super quick too!!  Must be quite a shock to get used to...and also to make arrangements, wow!  

Let us know how it goes with the protein shakes - hopefully you find a flavour that you enjoy.  I've sometimes seen the syrups for sale at Winners in their fancy food section, and I picked up some in the States last time I was there.  

I'm always truly happy to see these messages on here, cause I know how happy you must be and also it means that my call is getting closer too!

Cheers,

Elena

Hi everyone,

Thank-you so much for  all your good wishes. Also thanks to everyone for the info on the syrops. I will look on-line but will stop into Starbucks and take a look.

I will keep you posted on my journey but it's been a while that anyone has posted their Monday weight-loss...I always looked forward to that and wanted to add my 2 cents when my time came to post.

I will be starting the Optifast this week...yummo...so I will let you know how I do with it (not crazy about sweet drinks sooo)

Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!

Hugs,
Ada
