can't think about anything but VSG!

Here I am at work, not working. Again. I can't focus on anything but getting VSG. I am reading all of the threads, looking at the pictures, thinking about the surgery...NOT doing my work. I was never very good at using my time wisely. There are lots of things I COULD do here, but nothing very pressing. So I just sit, perusing the website, feeling guilty.

 

Why am I such a procrastinator? Why do I keep putting things off? If I would just take one small task and follow it through, I know I would feel better and want to do more. I think I put off things that I am not sure of all of the steps - when I hit a small roadblock, I stop, "well, I guess I'll do that later."

 

And I let the negativity push me further down. My "all or nothing" view causes me to throw in the towel for the day if I start off bad.

 

Am I using the surgery focus to keep me from having to work? The therapist said I am feeling "HOPE". Is that why I am so drawn to the website and spend all day thinking about it? I will get all of my work done eventually. I always do. I just wish I could be more proactive...

I think it's perfectly natural to be obsessed with the VSG especially when you are going through your pre-op journey and then post-op when you wonder if you are normal. I am still pretty new as a post-op, but my obsession has started to die down a very little bit. I never did any obsessing at work though because I was/am always so busy, but as long as you are meeting your deadlines, you'll probably be okay.

I'm hopeful and excited for you! Have fun reading and looking at pictures!

I was obsessed when I was seeking a revision. It felt natural for me to finally feel like your therapist described "hope" that this would work for me, and I wouldn't be in pain.

Keep reading, keep posting, and we're here to support you through all of it.
