Finally having surgery on Jan 8th

[dw40 6]

Wow, when I first started all this people keep calling it a journey & I didn't understand. I thought it was kinda hokey lingo. But now I get it.

It has been a long process and I finally have a date.

I was soooo ready for the surgery this summer. Extremely ready this fall when I completed the program requirements. Then waiting. And delays. And paperwork issues. During all that I was on liquids for 32 days with ZERO weight loss.

I went back to solids, mostly while the things completely out of my control got resolved. I like to be in charge, this has been challenging for me.

I have struggled this last month with a gain of 6 pounds. So crazy frustrating. I am pre-starting the liquids early, just dinner. I will have my “last supper" on Christmas day. Then it's full liquids.

So here is the thing: I don't feel & think about it like I did. I got really down with all the delays & shut down. I stopped reading here. I stopped Googling everything. I put it in the back of my mind. And now I don't know how to get ready now. I mean, I am making logistical plans and I still want to do this & I want to be healthier. I just don't know how to restart my engines.

Do you know what I mean? What do you do to get your brain ready?
