I think the Sunday chat is an excellent idea! I'm all for it. Chele Open RNY Lapeer, MI I should be in the hospital for 3 days. (Does that mean we come home on Wed or Thurs?) I have been on protein shakes for a couple of weeks, just to see which ones agree with me and to prepare for surgery. This week on my own accord, I'll be cutting back on the food along with having my shakes. Next Saturday I start full liquids. Sunday, clear liquids. Monday...the Big Day. I'd like to lose a couple of lbs before surgery. Chele
