Hi folks,

Day one of Opti and it's not brutal!

I know through TWH I'm allowed 10 calorie broth, sugar free jello, and sugar free popsicles. I imagine it's not an unlimited quantity!!

Do you know to what serving total, or what total calories per day?

Thanks so much!

I'm glad your okay on day 1. Keep going!!!

I found this phase very difficult to adjust to, 4 more days to go for me. I mix vanilla protein with brewed decaf vanilla hazelnut coffee for the "ice capp" effect.

Very exciting time for us. Eyes on the prize

Thanks bojangles! Yes, it's not then easiest phase is it?! I find when I get hungry, I'm grumpy quickly... or impatient. I hope that passes. That really isn't making me happy!

Eye on the prize for sure!

So exciting you only have 4 days left. Surgery is around the corner for you!!!

Thanks girl! I still don't know how many "extras" I can have. Lol. The good news is I am not having much. I am doing "the least I need to be satisfied." Or at least make it through. Haha

I went through TWH, but had my surgery in Guelph. We were allowed one cup of broth a day (or split into 2 half cups). I seldom did and just stuck to the four OPTIs a day.

It really isn't the worst part of the process, and each step just highlights that this is a good decision (at least for me) and empowers me that I can DO THIS!

Orientation: June 29th, 2016, Surgery March 22, 2017. Pre-surgery: 16 lbs, (Size 2x, 18/20), M1: 19 lbs. (Size 1x, 16/18), M2: 13 lbs. (Size 16, XL) M3: 10 lbs. (Size 14/16, large). M4: 6 lbs. (Size 14, large/medium). M5: 10 lbs. (Size 14, solid medium - lol), M6: 9 lbs. (Size 12, medium). M7: 8 lbs. (Size 10/12 and small/medium). M8: 7 lbs. (Size 10 and small/medium). M9: 2 lbs. (Size 8/10 - small/medium). Lost 100 lbs by Month 9! M10: 5 lbs. M11: 4 lbs. One year: 6 lbs. Total 111 lbs. lost!

Thanks Linda! Every day has been getting easier, and none have really been "that" bad. :)
