Hopefully last update on Optifast and solution.....
I am sorry about freaking out on here. I was going nuts. I got in contact via email with Brittany and we exchanged an email. She had not replied back before I left work. I came home and regretfully drank another shake. Within 5 minutes I was getting hot flashes and very sweaty, nauseated and dizzy. I found myself over the toliet head first and found some immediate releif. I got on the net to check my mail and heard from Brittnay wanting to exchange some of my shakes for soup. Then hoped on here and got the notice from Jackie about the meeting in Woodbridge. That was at 610. I threw on my clothes and headed up the highway.
I talked with Brittney after the meeting and we both agree that may be lactose intolerent. I have had some problems in the past. And as I think about it, it is with high sugar content type lactose. Like ice cream could make me feel uneasy. but Skim milk, not at all. So who knows. It could also be that I am pushing the toxins out of my body and it is affecting me more. So we are exchanging all my shakes for soup and meal bars. Hopefully this will be the answer.
I met Jackie and Cindy tonight. Both are very beautiful ladies and it was a pleasure metting them!! They are so nice!!

Hi Melissa - it was a real pleasure to meet you tonight! I am sorry you are struggling - hopefully now Brittany is fully aware of this she may be able to offer other solutions - I know she is giving it some thought and wants you to call her again. So hang in there - you can get through this - only 9 or 10 days to surgery....!!!.
We met Melissa tonight and she is very sweet and just wants to get through this and have her surgery.... I am so excited for her! Jackie

Glad things are working a bit better for you. Anything worth having/obtaining is worth the fight, sweat, tears etc. Hang in there!
All best!
