What my mom did since she had the same situation of starting the same day of her classes was she mailed the office assistant and she sent her back the approved pre-op for her. she was able to prepare and start before hand.

I'm currently on day 3 of the all clear liquids and kinda struggling. but i'll make it through knowing how much better life will be later.. Good luck!
Wow, for want of a better word Crie, that is just a "harsh" diet. I don't understand the reasoning behind it, but of course I'm not a doctor. But like you said, life will be much better later, so I'm sure it's worth the struggle now.

That's a good idea about emailing the office assistant (in my case the Nut). I'll definitely do that. Thanks.
