Brenda, I can't believe it's here already for you. The first few days are tough but your patience and perseverance all along will help you through this part of the journey. Hang strong!

Wheelin' and Dealin' with the Dr. I love it!
One positive about optifast is that you know what you are going to eat! No heavy planning!!!!
You will do it!!!

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.

Thank you all so much!!! Well the first OF.... I took advice about drinking it from a straw with a covered lid. Lots of ice and I made it with cold decaf coffee. Not bad, don't like the after taste, but definately doable.

Thank you peeps!!!

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.

Peggy

Thank you Peggy.  I'm going through Toronto Western, but I have heard of some being sent to Humber to help with the volume of people.
All the best on your journey.

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.
