Oh man.. Tell me about it! It feels like I've literally checked out of life.. And all i see is my surgery.. I can't wait 'til I get it. I took a break from school since June, I'm working less each month, and I'm hitting all the doctor appointments out the park! Seriously, I'm calling to re-schedule my appointments to an earlier date, well whenever I can, and I'm literally going to different appointments back to back in one day.

My pre-op surgery date consult w/ my surgeon is on Sept 18th.. and it seems like forever from now. I'm struggling keeping my weight down because I have to lose 30lbs before surgery.. It sucks! But I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

I can't wait to get to that light at the end of the tunnel.. =]

all i can think about is getting my sleeve.

all i want to do is read and write on the forums.

the only things in my calendar that mean anything to me are the appointments for my pre-op tests... everything else is a waste of my time.

is my obsession unusual? i'm finding myself less than engaged at work, which is a first. i usually forget everything else while i'm at the office, i've always been very good at compartmentalizing. i resent the time spent doing anything that does not lead toward my surgery.

can you relate?

Yup it's like when one hears a song and that song repeats over and over in your head! All I hear I in my head is "I can't wait" over and over and over and over! Even when I see my reflection at a window...that inner voice sounds! It's crazy, but good crazy...Sept 26...can't wait!!!! LOL

When I first started on this journey, I was obsessed. I've had so many delays though, that my obsession comes and goes so that I don't drive myself nuts worrying. I do have an obsessive/planning /type A personality though. I remember doing weight watches years ago and becoming obsessed with food and points, etc. It got to the point of being unhealthy. I'm trying to obsess in moderation now. If there is such a thing. ☺

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
