Thank you all so much for the info, I started my optifast today and so far I am ok, I am just trying my best to ignore the smell of my fellow co-worker's lunches lol. I just keep thinking of the ending results if I stick to it and that is getting my through. A co-worker had suggested to me (she had her's done in May) that I mix the vanilla optifast with either black coffee or a sugar free orange popcicle. I am going to try that tonight. Dr. Rhenke in Pasadena, Fl is doing my surgery. :wink2:
