I am so ready for my surgery date i cannot stand it anymore. Im not happy being overweight/fat. Im not confident at all in my body and it's driving me crazy i feel like my WLS is the only thing on my mind all day long and it's all i think about and i am ALWAYS bringing it up and talking about it!!! ugh. Anyone else feel like this?

Went to my work christmas party tonight and felt so uncomfortable in what i was wearing and just felt out of place not at all confident i hope this is something i can resolve with surgery. I feel like my weight is holding me back from being the outgoing/fun young girl that i know i am.

Maybe, iam just having a pitty party but cmon DECEMBER 21ST!!!!

Oh girl, I feel exactly like this and mine is not til 1/14. I am terrified of Christmas parties and our annual cookie baking with the family. I have only told a few very close friends and no family (outside hubby) that I am having this. I am not ready for the oh, you are not fat, you can loose weight if you really wanted. So hang in there young lady and let me know how things go for you.

I am super excited and super anxious. I started buying baby food yesterday for post op, so I can see what I like before surgery. My hubby is helping by joking around, but I cannot get it off my mind either!

Good luck to us all, we deserve our elation!

I had my sleeve done on Aug 1/12. Before that I use to hate going to functions, always felt uncomfortable. But since then I am not afraid. I do feel more confident and I am not worried about people staring at my gut. Just remember that the surgery is just the beginning. It is not the quick fix some people think it is. You will lose the weight but the trick is to keep it off. Follow the program. Why go through this whole process to just go back and do the things you were doing before. I am glad I did this and I feel great. Good Luck on the 21st and keep coming back to the site. I just joined and I am enjoying reading everyone's threads.

I feel the same way & can't wait til my special day n 2013 around February
