EEEK!!!
I can't believe it. Today is my last day of opti and surgery is tomorrow
. Two weeks is a long time without eating real food. Everyday i fought the urge to take a bite of something whilst i was cooking for my family. Some where more difficult than others but, i did it. Just four more shakes to go and one picc line insertion and i'll be good to go on Thursday. I'm just proud of how I did not let my self down and give into temptation and of how mentally strong i am. Ofcourse i'm nervous but, i'm trying to keep a positive mind and not think of the negatives.

I hated Opti but didn't cheat, and after hearing the surgeon say my liver looked awesome I felt the same as you - grateful to myself. Resisting all those temptations will pay off. Here's to a speedy recovery! 😄 
Good luck wishing you a speedy recovery!

ps...Does anyone know why some hospital adhere to 3 weeks opti versus 2 weeks?....just curious.
