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?

This made me actually lol! Thanks

Summer

I wake up. go to sleep. and dream about it. so I know how you feel it's on my mind 24 seven I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET HERE this is crazy but great

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.. =]

Jess get out of my head. Such a cute and well written synopsis of where I'm at. Should be sleep right along now...

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

Great post! Guess we're all a little freaky! Lol. Glad I'm not alone! I even bought a cute pair of shorts in my goal size today. Something to look

Forward too.

I can....I'm kinda the same way right now..marking each day off the calendar like a kid...i can't help it either....

I increased my cell phone data plan to unlimited so I can watch youtube videos about gastric sleeve all day at work, LOL.

me too which is odd because witch my bill like a hawk and refuse to pay for anything extra lol

This is a big life change and we are prepping mentally on what's coming!! Hang in there everyone!!

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. ☺

I can also relate.All I want to do is sleep until the day of my surgery..I dont want too work. Im in a zone.So focused!

That is so me too my whole life is consumed by it I spend all my on the forums or doing research can't wait for it to get here

I'm now 2 1/2 weeks post op... My obsession has not stopped. I'm always on Facebook WLS groups and YouTube. Did you guys know there is an annual WLS conference in CA. And an east coast meet up every year, this year was Atlantic City. I don't know location for next year but I'm going!!!!!

Wow!!didnt know that.. Very interesting@@lindalue
