    @@luiggib,

    I'm in Chicago too, my surgery is October 17. So I'll be doing a liquid diet in two weeks. try not to stress over it. I decided I am going to take it one day at a time and do the best I can.

    I had a colonoscopy as well. If You recall, you were only allowed to drink broths and Jell-O. So of course that made it hard.

    Good luck , you'll get through this. Try to stay positive and keep your eye on the prize.
