Happy belated birthday Shoshana! I'm watching your videos and am slowly catching up to present time. I hope the optifast got better for you. I start Opti on January 11th and will be on it for 3 weeks...yikes. I LOVE your dog barking in the background. Reminds me of my dog Mac, who hated the mailman, or basically anyone who dared walk past the house, lol, with a passion . He was a great dog and I miss him a lot. Thanks for letting us know about Canadian protein and their sample packs. I just ordered 10 different flavor samples. So happy the accept paypal, and have free shipping too. It is so nice to have found another Canadian going through this. I hope your Grandma is OK.
Thanks!!! After awhile I didn't find Opti that bad with the coffee in it. I preferred the chocolate more than the vanilla. After surgery I am having a hard time with protein shakes making me sick :(. After the first week the opt goes by fast. Your date will be here before you know it!!! Where are you from? I look forward to hearing about your journey!!!
OH my goodness girl, happy late birthday, but I hear you about the food commercials! Haha! its crazy how you dont really notice them until you cant eat anything.
Happy bday sho! I am preop and still a few months away so if it makes you feel any better... I would trade places with you to be on opti and know my date was days away!!!! This will be a memory soon stay tuff pretty lady!,
days 3-5 were the hardest part of my optifast period. had some headaches and ya, bad moods. it got better after that though! Don't worry about how much you lose, the pre-op diet is more about preparing your liver for surgery ... to lower the amount of glycogen stored there and reduce inflammation. this makes it more pliable for surgery, they need to more it out of hte way to get clear access to your tummy (they basically fold it in half!)
First of all, Happy Birthday! This is such a cool time to be getting going because you will have direct birthday to birthday comparisons. Remember to take pictures. I know I'm dreading the liquid diet so I think it's awesome you're staying tough. Grit your teeth and bear it I guess. Stay strong. The results will be so worth it. I also have three dogs so I feel your pain. LOL Whenever mine bark at the mailman I ask them if they have to be such stereotypes. 😀

Thank you for responding. I'm glad to hear that Opti goes by fast; I will probably get more chocolate than vanilla when I pick it up.
