    Happy Mothers Day! 9 more days.....the final countdown. Seems like it will never get here. Hopefully this week will go by fast, I have to work Mon, Wed, and then Fri,Sat, Sun, then Mon we go to my sisters house to spend the night prior to our surgery since she lives in the area where we are having it. At least we aren't on a straight liquid diet. It's restricted to around 1100 calories a day. We have to eat two low calorie frozen meals, and 3 Protein drinks a day with 2 cups of optional low cal veggies.
