Day #2 for me .... it's better today, I promise :) I had a really bad headache yesterday and felt the hunger. Today I have no headache and I feel much more full. I have 3 weeks and while I'm not looking forward to it, I am doing what Hanneli mentioned. Mind over matter, trying not to think about it and keeping myself busy with other things.
I hope it gets better for you! Just keep crossing off the days on your calendar and the next thing you know you'll be finished and rolling into surgery!

Just finished Day 4 of Opti (drinking my last one for today right now) and find both flavours are fine as long as they are COLD! Keep me full too but glad I can have some celery and cucumbers to munch on when I just want to CHEW something. Hang in there!
