Day 1

Learning a few ways to make this opti fast not so bad

Vanilla optifast
Crushed ice
Vanilla extract
Instant coffee
Splenda
Blend in blender.
This one almost tastes like an ice Capp.


Chocolate optifast
Lots of crushed ice
Instant coffee
Blend in blender
Eat like soft serve ice cream


So far this has not been to hard. However I worked last night so I slept most of the day.

Day 2

So this morning has been super hard doing a 24 hour turn around from days to nights without Caffeine is inhumane. Caffeine withdraw in full effect.  I was only able to drink 3 shakes today. I learned a valuable lesson today, DO NOT try to make a hot shake, I added hot water decaf coffee and chocolate opti to my shaker cup. I put the lid on and tried to shake it. Not a great idea the lid blew off and the shake went all over the tea room at work.  WORD OF THE DAY NO HOT SHAKES!!

Please ignore the kiddie prints on the mirror.

Day 3

Not doing so bad today. I'm not hungry and I have managed to drink 2 shakes already. Only complaint I have is I'm constantly thirsty I can't seem to get enough water. Total shakes for today ended in 3.5.  Nothing exciting to report. 

14 more days!!!

Only 14 days. It's hard to believe! I have wanted this for so long and it seemed like it was going to take forever to get here when I got my date in September. But here it is only 14 more days!!!!!!

Whoot whoot! So excited for a new chance at the life I deserve!!

The start of Optifast

So the chocolate tastes horrific :(. It got a little better when I added instant decade coffee and crushed ice! 2 weeks of this is going to be hard! Just jumped on the scale at work to get a pre optifast wt 261lbs on this scale. Owch!!!

Count down to Optifast is on!!

The pre op prep for the RYN gastric by pass surgery that I am having January 14, 2013 is to drink 4 Optifast shakes a day for 2 weeks. Along with that I can have 2 cups of salad a day. The count down is on with only 2 hours and 40 some mins to go you would think I would be having some fantastic last meal, this however is not the case :( This girls stomach is in knots and eatting is the last thing on my mind. Is it nerves? might be!!!
