The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
Day 9 of Opti is almost done for me. For the first week I was having a very hard time getting in the 4 shakes a day. They were awful tasting and smelled horrible and even the thought of them made me gag. Around day 3 or 4 I sat with a shake in front of me and cried. I didn't think I could do it. I was honestly thinking of throwing in the towel and giving up on the entire surgery. But alas, my hero. My mother gave me some flavours to add to my shakes, and I must say, they have greatly improved everything. I'm not saying I like my shakes, or look forward to them. But I no longer dread them. I no longer gag, or have to drink them over the sink or in the bathroom in case I can't get them down.
But not everything is bad! There is the good side of these drinks! I was able to zip up my winter jacket for the first time since last winter! My pants are fitting looser, and my boyfriend says I look different. So it is working! And I am so excited for this journey. I can't wait for surgery, and to begin my transformation. I can't wait to be healthy and happy.
I wish I could weigh myself to see my progress, but I am too heavy for normal bathroom scales, so I have to wait until my PATTS appointment in Ottawa for my next weigh-in. But nonetheless, I am excited. :)
DONE!
