Hello all,

Not so bad!!! I am enjoying them.. Alternating chocolate and vanilla and I find them satifying. Using the protien shaker bottle with the silver ball to mix it! Working out great! I went to my bedroom and watched tv while the family was having dinner. I am very lucky to have a husband who does the cooking! I have been stressing about opti more than the surgery and all for what.... It really isn't that bad.
All the best to those starting opti.....there seems to be a few of us.

Opti is what you make Opti to be.  I only had chocolate, and as long as the water was really cold, I was fine.  And I just had a shaker that had one of those wagon wheel things to mix it.

That is so reassuring to hear, I worry about that 2 weeks also.

Hi Joanne,
I didn't mind opti either! My husband cooked and ate with the kids and I went to my room too. By the end of it, I was able to sit with my family during dinner and just visit with them while THEY ate. Miracles! Try blending it with a few icecubes in the blender. Add a scoop of instant coffee(if you like coffee) and it tastes just like an ice cap! Loved it with vanilla or chocolate. Good luck!

I am sooo looking forward to Opti - I have bought a few syrups for added fun. 

My hubby does the cooking too - but I will have to 'man up' afterward to get the meals skewed to the healthier version.

Question - were you in the Nut class on Jan 14th?  Your picture is very small so I can't see if your the same person as in my class.

Sorry my response has taken so long, had to look up my apps as I could not remember. I believe I was. My husband was there as well (John). I was the keener sitting front and centre...lol. Where were you sitting?

You two were in the back row closer to the window - right?  I was in the front row (not an indication that I am by any means a good student). You appt was the next day, right?  You two were quite funny, and cute. Reminded me of my hubby and I. 

Nice to see you here - your day will be here before you know it.  I am just a few weeks behind and soooo freeking impatient. 

Let me know how it goes for you.
