I went to Kelseys for lunch

Well done Arlene! You got this!

OMG Arlene,

I read the thread name and then saay you beside it and i gasped a lil (wont lie)  I knew it was your sons big day, and then i read your post...

I AM SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU!!!!

Great job on the no cheating....Your lucky to have the veggies, I can have NOTHING....hence why i missed my best friends wedding yesterday ;(

You are rocking the opti girl!  Us twins are def killing it!

Thanks Glen, did I freak ya out just a tad? LOL It was not as hard as I thought it would be. Thank god for the veggies is all I have to say. I am not sure how you do it. I was so tempted to grab one of my hubbys crispy onions he had on top of his pasta. LOL But I surprised how good the lemon and vinegar tasted on the lettuce, it was actually good. I think anything with flavour is good, I am sick of these damn shakes already !!! LOL Almost there 10 days including today. I am not sure its registered in my brain yet. I go to see Dr G tomorrow. The last wee hurdle. 

You will do amazing tomorrow!  My thoughts are with you...

yes, 10 more days!!!!  has not quite registered with me yet either....gotta go update my beneficiary on my insurance today (worst case scenario prep)

Well im proud of you and frankly i dunno how i do it either?! last night i made chicken a la king and hungarian goulash in my Pressure Cooker (best thing ever for RNY patients)and did not eat ANYTHING...cooked...portioned into containers and then in freezer.....i amazed myself!

Well gotta get dressed for work and get in opti #1  then be off...

Congrats on your NSV

OMG How did u resist the temptation? and perhaps you need to be sharing these recipes??? LOL I do a great Caribbean stewed chicken and Caribbean beef stew, all simmered in water for hrs and spices, not spicy, just spices. I am wondering if after I can tolerate any of it? I will skip the rice but the beef and veggies will be great. I would kill for some now. LOL , hope you have a great day !!! And I need to tell you now I AM PROUD OF YOU. I may have cracked. lol I am glad the difference between opti diet and fad diet, opti allows for no mistakes, you must have will power, fad diet, your like screw it I am hungry I am eating. LOL I do anyways, LOL

w00t!

WNNING! On your part and your waiters!
