Day 4 of Opti......

So day 3 under my belt looking forward to day 4. I am trying to stay busy outside the house so I'm not constantly thinking about food. During the week I don't seem to struggle so bad as I am so busy at work.  I am really enjoying the cucumbers, celery and green peppers at night in place of chips. The broth I can't seem to do, going to look for something other than canned hoping to find something more palatable. Opti......well lets just say I've been drinking it with a milkshake straw, flavouring it up in many different ways and trying to get all 4 in. I just keep telling myself to drink it and stop focusing on the negatives of it  as its preparing me for a better surgery experience.  

Happy Sunday everyone

You can do it!  I am counting down my packages now...  7 left out of 84...

Nothing tastes better than being thin...  Remember that!  (I have not tasted thin for years but I am sure it's pretty darn good)

I had the sf jello a few times I liked the lime the best...

Best of luck, YOU can do it

 

 

    

On my journey to rescue the healthy and confident me that is hidden within!

Keep it up!

Just want to make a slight amendment to the comment above......

 

Better to be healthy than not :), thin is a state of mind!

 

Be confident.

Thank you!

What I meant is that it's worth the not always so pleasant taste for the end result which is to be a thinner healthy person...

I kinda liked your quote!  I've never tasted thin before and I'm really looking forward to it!

If it helps any, I am on day 11 of 21 and am down 10 lbs (the inches are showing it more) since I started and have already had to retire one pair of my work pants because the girls were teasing me about then "hanging" off my butt.

Just think this is only short term and keep your eye's on the prize.

I am on day 6 of Opti for me I found day 3 the worse and find that I am hungry at night because that is usually when I came home from work and did most of my eating. So I have shake at dinner then broth and some jello and around 8:30 - 9 have my 4th shake of the day.

You are lucky you can eat veggies my centre doesn't allow us to. For the broth I tried the straight broth and almost threw up every time I drank it so what I did at the suggestion from my daughter pink jellybean I went out and bought Liptons Chicken Noodle soup in the big box not the cup of soup and made it and drained off all the noddles and just had the broth little bit higher in the recommended 10 calories but it tastes so much better.

I have lost weight not really sure how much but I noticed last night my clothes are loose which is wonderful. 

Just stay focused on the end game and you can do it.

I'm on day 4 of 21 and I will feel much better when I at least empty one case--6 cases staring at me is a bit depressing. I think it is getting a bit easier as long as i don'****ch the food network
