Starting Optifast
Congrats Brenda! I am on my last day of opti and I've actually really liked both the chocolate and the vanilla. The first few days it took alot of getting used to just drinking shakes and still having to get meals for my family but all in all the time goes by pretty fast. Also its great to know that we can come on this forum to get advice and support from so many people.

Morning Brenda,
I'm so happy for you....it's getting so close now....how exciting.
What hospital are you going to? We are neighbours! I live in Whitby and was directed to Humber. I have my orientation next Monday and I can hardly wait. I've been reading and researching lots! I love reading everyone's posts. Keep us up to date on how you are doing.

I was on opti for 3 weeks, after the first 4 days, I actually like it. I agree with everyone else, make sure it's cold (with ice) and drink through a straw. Now, that I'm post op and have to drink the protein shakes, opti was much better tasting lol. Good luck.
