Opti Day 1 !

Hey all , 

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling good ! 

I just wanted to post a wee note ...more of a milestone for me really ,than anything else . But I started Opti this morning ....Vanilla Opti to be exact ( that's all they had ) ....and I have to say it's not bad at all ! I blended it with ice and some water ....and if I shut my eyes and float away a wee bit , it could almost pass for a Vanilla Milkshake from McD's !!! I am sitting here now with a cup of beef broth and that ha**** the spot and I feel like overall , it's been a good day and I can do this !!  Hence the reason I have posted today ....cos I know the next few days are gonna be harder and I don't want to show my grizzly side !! lol 

However....I have suffered from the ' Opti Trots ' today :( ....so that's not been fun , but on a positive note ....I feel much lighter already !! 

Anyway , day one is down , only 20 more to go .....and dreaded US thanksgiving at my Mother in laws this weekend thrown into the mix , but I'm gonna be totally fine .......right ??hahaha(*crazy manic laugh!) 

Anyway , thanks for listening and being here . 

Take care peeps x

My 11 year old daughter made dinner for the first time ever and it was sooooo hard telling her no. 1 day down, 20 more to go!

Wee sweetiepie :) ......we got this doll ! Can't wait to see you at the hospital , remember I'll be there hovering over your face when you wake up !! Lol xx 

In theory I should be able to see you before I go for mine... so likewise! LOL. I couldn't have been blessed with a better surgery buddy.

Im on day 6 now, I found the first 2 days the hardest, now its fine, I will say, I never feel hungry on the opti which I thought I would, I just has headaches the first two days, now all is good.  It was my son's 4th bday over the weekend so we had a big family party, like I said, I wasn't hungry, just wish I could have had some cake,

hope your opti time goes smoothly, I found adding the fiber really helps, you can even go to bulk barn and get bulk psyllium fiber husks, just mix them into the opti or even into the broth....
