@@Ivanova8 im in North york and i go down on the train, so going and coming back on the train would be pointless and waiting around for 4 hours just wasn't as appealing to me anymore especially with the minus 30 weather. Hopefully I'll make it to the one on the 21st

@@cab127 I'm sorry I thought you were on Jan 9th. I think I've lost 8lbs. Like you I've also enjoyed my Opti-fast. But I will be happy to move on to the next stage. It's hard cooking for my hubby and not eating any of it. But it's all going to be worth it I'm sure.

Hi @ivanova8. The countdown is on. Remind me again are you at TWH. I am getting nervous and excited as well. If you are at TWH so am I and I am after you. Hoping you have a great recovery

@@cab127 I am at TWH on the 12th. Yep the countdown is one and I am nervous and excited as well! Good luck and an easy recovery to you as well!

@@tristantanople That's great! I hope you are doing well.

@@freshair Thanks so much! Looking forward to surgery to get a break from work!

Hi cab127,

I had terrible gas pains when I first got home....the more exercise I did the better. Meaning, walk, walk, walk. I lived to fart. I'm sorry if that offends but seriously it was a godsend.

@@anewme15 Hi. The first few days were okay except for the constipation. But the past three days I've been dealing with light-headedness. I almost fainted twice while using the washroom. I talked to the nurse this morning. She says to keep as hydrated as I can and to take my time getting up. Not helping so far. She did say if it keeps up to go see my general practitioner. So I hope it improves over the next couple of days since I'm not up to drving yet. Thanks for asking. =)

@@Ivanova8 hey hopefully it gets better. That use to happen to me alot when i showered or got up i was told by the nurse it was low blood pressure. Did you feel hart palpitations too? Also check you blood sugar make sure you're not experiencing low blood sugars which could also be the case
