Day 1 of 21 on Optifast

yay!!! the time has finally come.... i never thought it would be over the holidays but that's OK... the sooner the better! Surgery date 16Jan2015 in Ottawa. Glad to be off work today and have the weekend before returning to work while getting started on the shakes!

This feels like a great way to end the year and an even better way to start 2015.

Would love to hear from anyone in the area... or just anyone at all pre or post surgery. Trying to build a support network. Looking forward to the journey and really hoping to remain this positive by dinner time!!!

Be blessed

What a great way to end one year and start another.  All the best to you!  Happy New Year

Thank you Annie! Happy new year to you as well! 

Totally understand where you're coming from..... today is the first day of opti for me surgery on January 9.

I am doing fine so far looking forward to my two cups of veggies at dinnertime.

Hang in there and keep your goal in mind you got this.

I'll trade you a shake for those 2 cups of veggies!!!

Anytime I actually like the shakes.

I love your positive attitude.  I start Optifast on Monday and I'm going to have to keep your lovely thoughts in mind.  Thanks!  

Keep it up!  

What's on the agenda until monday? I know i spent the last few days saying good bye to my favorite restaurants. It was a bitter sweet type of experience.

I only indulged in ice cream.  It's my Achilles heel of fat foods.  It will be missed.  

You got a good day to start, boxing day!  It is a good way to end the year, ending an old life and starting a new one.

There will be good days and bad days on Opti, but it's worth every minute of it.  You'll be in a room at the Civic before you know it, this time seems slow as you go through it but you'll wonder how it went so fast.

Have a great new year's eve!
