Starting Opti in the morning.
Hello,
i have been worried if I could do it too. I have a lifetime of failed attempts to over come. In my head, I believe that Opti would be more difficult than post-op as nothing has happened yet.
i have to say, with only being on my 3rd day, I am feeling better than I thought. There are temptations, of course. The first day was the worst as I felt hungry all day and the Opti doesn't taste good at all. Although I'm still not enjoying Opti, I am tolerating it more. I have moments of hunger, but I am not constantly hungry. The little things that I did out of habit are the things that I need to make an effort about. Like not licking my fingers after making my child's meal, not just grabbing something because you're hungry and forgetting that you can't have it. So far, I have remembered in time to stop myself. ;)
Best of luck on the 30th, you can do it! (I did find it helpful to not go over board the day before).
