Excited and Nervous !!
I have never felt so nervous and excited at once before ahhh!!! 
Good luck with your upcoming surgery, and opti!
Took me a few days of taking opti before my body got use to it and I felt full. Make sure opti is cold, taste way better!! I had to do Opti for two weeks as well, I admit I had a tough day or two, but I got through it, as we all do!
So normal to be excited and nervous at the sametime!
Again good luck to you!

You'll do fine; I had no complaints at all. It was the first step in my journey towards the surgery I had been working towards, praying for, and waiting impatiently for.
Life is good!

Congratulations; that is so exciting! Opit is the start of an amazing journey! Like others have said, make sure it's nice and cold; it tastes way better that way. I kept my bottled water in the fridge and added plenty of ice cubes to my shaker bottle. I actually grew to love the stuff.
If you space the shakes out by 4 hours, it really works to keep hunger at bay.
Good luck!
