Anyone else feel obsessed with WLS?

It's like it's all I ever think about!!! With keeping track of all the Dr's appts and supplements to take and all this is even before surgery!!! I wake up thinking about it, I go to sleep thinking about it. I dream about it. I sit here at work and think about it. I google and youtube everything gastric bypass! Please someone tell me I'm not alone?!?!?!?

I did the same thing... I let so many things slip thru the cracks because of being so ocd about the surgery. But now almost 5 weeks its starting to get back to be somewhat normal.

Yes thats me I even run over my data and now have a huge bill

My daughter says I word vomit gastric bypass. I am trying to be more aware of that and not let it consume me... Tough!!!

Omg!!! Im starting in this journey and let me tell ya!!!! It has been psyco stalking everything wls before and afters pics, you tube the surgery, umm... Oh! Yeah this forum lol!!! But when you dont have too many people on board or supportive ofyour desicion its like human instinct or something to look for somebody that listens and that are going through the same thing... So your not alone im a newbie so i got something to obsess about besides food AMEN to that!!! :0)

I too think about it all the time, its the first think I think about in the AM as I take my meds and the last thing as I'm usually on here before bed.

BINGO!!!!! I was thinking the same thing.

I'm the same way. I am on a Facebook group, read this forum, check out egg face and barriatric foodie. This very consuming.

Absolutely! It does get better with time but will always be a huge part of your life!

I know my kids are tired of hearing me talk about it but I'm trying to get all the info I can so that I am as prepared for the life changes I am making. What they do not realize fully is that they are making the changes also!!!! So I am not just wanting this surgery for myself to become healthier but all of us. Does that make sense, or am I just pushing this onto the kids unnecessarily?

No I found myself telling a complete stranger at water aerobics!!! I was appaled at myself afterwards!! It was like why the hell dud I just tell a complete stranger that!! So weird.

I think it's cause you have to keep up with so much your food protein vitamins exercise and Drs visits your blood work this is a lot to deal with so I think it will just take a little while to get adjusted to all the changes after all its not just surgery it is a lifestyle change and changes take time Remember all good things are worth WAITING for and that's a better HEALTHIER LIFE
