I am starting OF in the morning, eeek I'm more nervous about this than the surgery, at this point. lol.
I'm doing it for 18 days, the surgeon wanted 3 weeks and I wanted two so I slit the difference. lol
So excited to be this close. Here I come May 14th.

I was most nervous for the opti part too but one day at a time!! The first day was not great for me but after that it was pretty easy. Congrats on getting to this stage of the game :-) It goes fast from here on out!!

So happy you are on your way and getting so close. I know you can do this. Keep up that positive attitude of yours and it will be a breeze. Remember to give yourself all the encouragement you always pass along to others!

Hi Brenda,
I am on day 2 and am pleasantly suprised by the taste of the shakes. They aren't bad at all. I am drinking a vanilla one right now and it is good. Did you buy anything to flavor them with? I have a raspberry syrop that tastes pretty good in the vanilla shake.
post often if you need support. Everyone was great for me today when I had some temptation. Best of luck.
