Last Meal/First Optifast
Well, it has begun.
Last night, DH and I went out for dinner - my "last supper" as it were. We went to Milestones. Artichoke and Spinach 3 cheese dip and chips, caesar salad, top sirlion steak with shrimp and scallops in lobster butter sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus spears and cherry tomatoes, Pecan Pie Cheescake and White Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert. MMMMmmmm. I did bring home some steak for the dog, so she got a treat, too. (At one point, I showed DH the size of the meat I'll actually be eating post-surgery. He was both impressed and shocked - he said he couldn't do it.)
After that meal, I didn't think I'd have to eat for 2 weeks!!
This morning, my first Optifast. I had the chocolate. It didn't taste bad on its own, but I added a little dribble of Banana Cream flavouring. Tasted like a Chocolate Monkey drink from Mr. Greenjeans in the Eaton Centre!
Going X-border shopping this morning with my mom, and taking my GNC shaker, vanilla OF and some Crystal Light.
OFF I GO!!!

Hi Beth
The really great thing is when you eventually reach goal and are able to eat a little more - you will be able to have a few bites of everything you mentioned....not often but the occasional treat when out AND when you are at goal
Good luck to you as you begin the good stuff....you wont regret it
