Always give it YOUR 100% and remember everyone's 100% is different!
Good luck, the first few days are the hardest, but it's good training for not eating afterwards. I will admit that the lack of crunch food was really hard and I cheated? 3-4 time with a piece of celery. I lost 25 pounds on Opti but everyone is different, especially if you've already lost any weight.
You can do this, let the journey begin.

Opti day one for me was the worst. Thought I was going to die. Alas I didn't and survived the 3 weeks opti with a 26 pound weight loss.
My only "cheat" was that I toasted a piece of bread just so that I could smell it ?

I was HANGRY the first two days of Opti. LOL. After that, it was smooth sailing. I liked the routine of it, and felt really full even.
You got this! This is the finish line before surgery. Yay!
