For sure, if you are cooking for others I can only imagine how hard it would be to refrain from having a little taste of what the kids are eating! I'm lucky that I am on my own so my kitchen is completely empty of food - I donated a lot of stuff to the food bank and just cleared out the pantry so I can start fresh after surgery. Congrats on being 9 pounds lighter already! That is motivation to keep going :) Good luck!!

Thanks! I was famished by the time lunch time came around so I'm glad we get four shakes a day because I think it's going to be a long afternoon until dinner... Which is also why I am so glad I got rid of all the temptations in the kitchen! It erases any possibility of a cheat, even a little one. I was a bit hesitant to get rid of things like soups and cans of veggies, but most of them had dust on the top and I think I want to start making my own soups and eating fresher food after surgery anyway :) And the food bank was grateful for the donation so it's worth it. When you get to the Opti stage I hope it goes well for you too! :)

Thanks! I am lucky I have a sweet tooth and a pretty bland palette to begin with - Opti isn't exactly a complex bouquet of flavours haha ;) But it works for me and there is lots of stuff to add to change it up. Looks like you are starting Opti on the 16th? It will be here before you know it! :)
