I am just counting down the days to my surgery and its two months away. It’s like life has stopped and I am trying to make it day to day until the surgery. It’s miserable I need something else to focus on. Has anyone else felt this way? Its like I am just surviving and my life won’t begin until I am sleeved. Give me some ideas. The wait is driving me insane.

If I had to do it over again I would cook and freeze some 1 cup servings of mushy stuff. Right after surgery I just got so tired for the first couple of weeks. I would cook a couple good soups, maybe a gumbo, a good chili, etc. At least it will already be cooked and all you will have to do is wirrrr it in the blender! Good luck.....lost another 2 lbs yesterday....this sleeve ROCKS!!!!! Having a great year!!! (Sleeved May 23, 2011)

I love the idea of going through and arranging all my old clothes. I hadn't thought of that, I have so many old things that I'll be able to wear again, I think I'll do that some tonight. I'm sure I'll want to buy some new things, but I have a ton packed away. Thanks.

I'm so glad this thread was started! I am 23 days away and have been really stressing. I've been trying to keep my attention focused on planning for it. Heck, I've already packed! The time is just dragging! I, like you, thought perhaps I should leave the forum for now, to force my attention else where, but I just can't seem to do that. I'm even neglecting my farm on facebook

I love the idea of freezing the meals and cleaning out the clothes. I'm going to get busy on this!

I think it's amazing how supportive the folks are here! Glad I stumbled onto this site!!

You said "do do". lol

Kala, I was depressed to tears right after my surgery for a good two weeks. I finally got really stoned, had a couple of whiskies, made a party of one, and was OK the next morning. I don't recommend doing that, but do do something to break the spell. Best wishes.

I tried to find another way to say that, but that's what came out...sigh.

Take it from me. Don't hang your happiness on getting the surgery.

The weight loss is great, don't get me wrong. But, I'm depressed as hell.

kala

may i ask, why are you so depress. does it have anything to do with being sleeved?
