I just got a surgery date for Feb 9, I won't be on optifast for the full two weeks. I'm so excited and scared. I've been lurking in the shadows, but thought I'd say hi. I had my first opti shake tonight. I'm making decaf ice cubes to hopefully make it better. One shake at a time.

Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Yes, it's very fast. Trying to get all the ducks in a row. I'm a mom of 5 and a student. But mostly I'm excited with a little bit of fear thrown in for good measure. .

I feel the same way and I've got three more weeks to prepare. Good luck getting everything in order!

welcome and congrats

I was the same as you, I got a call for cancellation and went in 9 days later.

Its such an exciting time and I got to skip all the 'food funerals' - LOL

One optifast recipe I enjoyed was vanilla optifast, super cold water, some ice cubes and a squirt or two of Crystal Light Aloha Pineapple. Blend it all together and you have what reminded me of a pina colada.

That's exciting! I'm jealous you will only have to do opti-fast for 9 days! lol.

I was also called twice for earlier dates due to cancellations, but unfortunately, was unable to take them due to my support system being away until my surgery date.
