Just about 32 hours pre-op...

Weight is 250.0 lbs. (hmm guess this liver shrinking diet is working. I'm actually losing weight not only shrinking my liver it seems)

I love my husband. I honestly can say no one in my life has loved ME on the level he does except maybe my mother. Okay, maybe my children. (two adult daughters ages 28 and 26). He keeps checking in with me to see if I'm ok. I know he's worried about my emotional health right now. He's taking care of my trust and faith in him. I could see it in his face yesterday when we were at the grocery store getting the things I'll need to have here at home after the surgery.  While I was sitting in the car alone I said a prayer asking for strength. Not just for me but for both of us. And it was answered.

It's funny (and I honestly feel by no means coincidental and I'm not overly religious) but there are moments in my life that I KNOW are specific answers to a prayer.  And it happened a few hours after my prayer last night.

My hubby said something about an event that happened to us. He mentioned how timely it was and how nothing like it had happened before and now that this particular kind of support was needed... there it was. Just showing up out of nowhere.

It was then I told him that I had prayed about it and he was like "hmm...I didn't know that. I thought it was interesting it happened and now that I know you prayed for it, I believe it was an answer". Yes, the "answer" was that noticeable to both of us. I very much agree with him.  It's a personal and private thing but I wanted to make note of it. 

Anyhow...

My hubby is following my eating pattern. If I can't eat, he doesn't eat. When I can eat my protein, he does also. Today we went to GNC and bought the bottles of ISOPURE clear protein that I'll be on for the next few days. (I'm honestly not sure how long) but we picked up 6 bottles and my plan is to add a 5-6 ice cubes and some water into my food processor and whip them up like a slushie so I have that "eating/chewing" sensation. 

We're getting my list of necessities together that I need to take to the hospital with me... Gas-X, Milk of Magnesia, Tylenol Rapid Blast. I'm not sure if I will actually need this at the hospital but we're taking it all along. I've got new little sock slippers, Chapstick, pocket Kleenex, phone and ipad chargers, my nightgown, quilt, a couple of silly little puzzle games for us to play and will probably take my special neck pillow.
