Slow and Steady

Sitting here with my thoughts. There's a lot of them too. I should be sleeping, but I went so early that now I can't seem to settle back down. My husband on the other hand, can fall asleep just like that. Started my liquid diet Sunday and ended up eating 5 olives because I just wanted something savory. I know why I have to do the liquid diet it's to prep my liver so it shrinks so they can see my stomach better, but that doesn't mean it's not a little challenging.
I just wish some people would stop trying to convince me not to do the surgery. They've offered their advice, but this is my life I'm trying to save. I need them to support my discision not try and derail it by trying to change my mind.
They're not carrying 200 plus extra pounds on their bodies. They don't have to use assistive devices just to help them breath or sleep. Getting help with lising the weight could very well prolong my life. I know the 200 aren't going to drop off magically, but I have to give myself the best chance for the best possible outcome that's why it's going to be slow and steady.
