You're probably going to find that it doesn't bother you as much as you might think to have your liquid meal alongside your family. I found the opti quite filling, especially if I crushed ice into it. And after the third day, I really wasn't hungry - the sight of food didn't bother me, but sometimes the smells had my mouth twitching a bit.
Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
Good Attitude! I kinda went into hiding during optifast. We have to book our vacation in November for the next year, and I chose the week of the 12th, which just happened to be the week before my surgery. I had a very hard time on Optifast, and was pretty miserable. I was not of the lucky ones to have enjoyed any of it.
