Thank you. We are here at the hospital! Sent from my iPad using VSTDr. Kelly Sent from my iPad using VSTI hear ya!!! I have surgery July 2nd....am beginning my 3 day all liquid tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using VSTWantmeback---see you there at the hospital!!!! Sent from my iPad using VSTHeather---maybe we will run into each other! Sent from my iPad using VSTThank for the words of encouragement! I am a Social Worker, and do a lot of desk work, which should help. I am starting the 3 day liquid diet tomorrow. I am getting really excited, but am preparing myself that there can be complications. It just seems like I have food on my brain!!!! Last night I went to the grocery and bought all kinds of food that I could cook for my grown kids whe they come this Friday....which is funny because I do north enjoy cooking!!! It's like each meal is my last meal...so silly but I know pretty normal. Sent from my iPad using VSTI am seeing Dr. Kelly on July 2nd!!! BTW...I found a great app on my iPad to translate English to Spanish. It was free.Anyone else seeing Dr. Kelly the week of July 2nd??? ONLY ONE WEEK.....woohooAre you losing weight? How are you feeling?Congratulations!!I have a BMI of 36. I am thinking of really cutting down 1week before my surgery and then do the Clear Liquids for 3 days . My surgery is scheduled July 2nd with Dr.Kelly. Would you be open to talking to me or texting? I really want to talk to someone that has done this. If not, I completely understand.Did you get really nervous a week before surgery? It didn't help that I just read the complications thread...ughhhhhhh
