                              I am 12 days from my surgery date. I think I am looking forward to it more than I am scared to have it done. I think to anyone going through any type of surgery would have a little fear but excited, I am not so sure.

                              It is starting to feel real, like it is really going to happen. I am on day 3 of my liver shrink diet. The surgeon has me on a very low fat/Low calorie diet that I have to do in order to  make my liver smaller and thus make it easier for her to work around. The diet is not fun and is under 700 calories per day. I am living with it and am sticking to it. It's got to be done in order for them to do the surgery on February 1.

                              That's all I really have to say today, have a great

                              You have to shrink your liver? Wow. That is crazy. I didn't even know that is possible. I mean- aside from not drinking, but other than that- like just being able to put your liver on a diet. I'm surprised no one has marketed that: "The Amazing Liver Diet! Shrink your liver in just ten days!" LOL

                              All joking aside, I am really excited for you! This is going to be an incredible year for you, I just know it. <3

                              Praying for you everyday! I am so very happy for you. Just know I am here for you no matter what it is you need. I will be your slave nurse, maid, gopher... LOL. Since I am not a pushy or obtrusive mom, you and Aileen will have to let me know how little or how much you will allow me to do. You need to use me at least a little before Stephanie uses me all up!

                              I love you!
                              P.S. Toni, you always make me laugh. : )

                              Thanks for all the comments!

                              Toni - the surgeon said it it not a healthy diet so marketing may be hard LOL

                              Mom - I am going to take you up on that, I am going to need you even if it is just to come and keep me company while I am down for 2 weeks.

                              Shelly - Thanks! I need all the prayers I can get. I am excited but worried and a little scared
