Tonight I finally got to have my last Opti. For something I was so excited to start I am now so happy to finally be done it. Overall it wasn't too bad tasting, I mixed most with coffee or earl grey tea and chugged them. The first week was the hardest, the second easy but for some reason this last several days have been really difficult. But I am proud to say I never once cheated, wasn't even tempted.

Up until now I have been okay emotionally and deep down know that everything will be fine but tonight it i****ting me. I must admit I am freaking out a little bit. It's the what ifs. I just want tomorrow to get here, have my surgery and then wake up, know that I've made it through and then to be able to call my kids.

I know that so many people have been here and it's normal to feel this way and that I will do great!

I am also really looking forward to being able to eat my meals again, even if it is only limited. I am really craving cottage cheese and already bought a container!!

Outstanding! Best of luck on your up and coming. Being nervous is something we all went through. We'll be right here waiting on the bench for you. 

Long you live and high you fly 
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry 
And all you touch and all you see 
Is all your life will ever be.
