1st Day of Opti...mmmmm!

Jul 20, 2012

So I have completed my first day of opti-fast.  That means the countdown is on!  3 weeks minus one day to go till surgery.  Opti wasn't that bad I thought.  The third shake was the worst for some reason.  I'm just trying different mixtures with crystal light, mio, splenda etc. to make it taste good enough to go down.   It's funny how your brain works, while at work and serving the children food (I work at a daycare) I say to myself I'll just have a piece of cheese or I'll save that tangerine until later and then I remember I can't eat those things!!!   It's just an automatic reflex.  Weird!

Also, I found out yesterday when I went for my pre-op that my heart condition is called Bigeminy.  It's been about 10 years, 2 ecg's, 2 holter's, 1 echo and still living with this funny feeling in my heart.  When finally I had an ecg at pre-op and a nurse who was wonderful was able to explain it all to me.  It's not serious and some of it's causes are overeating, anxiety and caffeine.  I've already cut out caffeine two months ago, so hopefully it will disappear over time and with the weight loss.  (Just need to work on the anxiety).
