Day 6 Opti

 

 

Today was easier, only 3 more weeks to go. Whoo hoo

 

I have mixed reactions for the bathroom action. So I have been adding a tablespoon of fiber supplement the nurse suggested. TMI, but holy gas. Anyone else having this issued? or had? Its nuts!!

Strange to say, but Im noticing my sense of smell is sharper.

 

I am also sooooo sleepy. Can hardly stay awake pass 9;30.

 

I won’t lie. I really struggled the first 5 days. But last night I got an email from an supervisor of mine that is retired and I admired a lot. She said she heard I was planning on having surgery and that she was thinking and praying for me. The woman is currently in the Philippine’s! Yes part of the country is being shaken with a Typhoon and she thought to reach out of me. Shortly before that I was speaking with my mom and she told me she just returned home from visiting my aunt who has been in ICU since Sept 3rd. She tells me that my Aunt with a trac tube in her throat and fighting for her own health ask mom about me. How she wrote a note to mom asking about me, then telling mom to tell me that Im stronger then I know and do what I have to do to make be healthy.

 

I just went to bed crying. How can I be weak and whiny when I have these amazing women in the middle of their own struggles reach out to me and to encourage me.  I am blessed to have them. I kept repeating to myself today when I was peckish,“Naw, I have the same strength as them, I can do this"

Opti fast is more a mind prep then a body prep I believe.
