Thank you oneatatime for letting me know you got an error message when you tried to reply to my first post. Eased my mind.... ("why hasn't anyone replied?")
Well I am all done the "last suppers" and food funerals. Tomorrow it begins, I am as prepped as can be. ?
Great to see another post from you! Welcome to the board and congratulations on your upcoming surgery!!
Best of luck with Opti!

I was saying good for you Jumping in the Pool. It is good to sit on the edge to check things out. We are here to get/give Strength Hope and Experience. I had my surgery exactly a week ago today. I feel amazing! It is good to put up a profile picture, it makes you more personable to the group. The headaches can be bad. If you can, you might want to take Tylenol and drink a lot of water! I have heard that cold compresses are good too. YOU GOT THIS.. Opti was my favourite part. It was so simple. Things have become a little complicated on the Liquid phase but hell, it's only two weeks! (YAY). Please reach out if you need anything.
TOGETHER we can be BETTER
Best, MJ
I was also wondering why you didn't get any replies! LOL Usually you would be flooded with welcome replies. Seemed odd for me.
I also got the same error message when I tried to welcome you - but I thought it was just me.
Anyway, welcome to the forum and I hope Optifast goes well for you. Surgery date will be here before you know it.
welcome!!
I never had a 'last meal' as I got called for a cancellation one morning and needed to start OPTI immediately as the surgery was 9 days away. I think I'm glad about that. I have NO idea what I would have chosen to eat. I probably would have had a long drawn out eating frenzy - LOL
Good luck with OPTI, my fav was vanilla opti, water, ice and a couple squirts of Crystal light Aloha pineapple - a minute in the blender and I felt like I was drinking a pina colada :)

Thanks everyone. I made it through day 1. The headache has already kicked in.
One day at a time. I want this..so I must put in the work.
Bulk Barn has some protein water I really like so that helped. I also have every flavour of Premier available. Both OptI flavours. Celebrate bariatric powder in vanilla. I am well stocked!
I added Folgers instant decaf to my morning shake for the "ice capp" affect.
Must keep busy ?
