Impatience X A Zillion= Stir Crazy

Time seems to be just meandering along, and in some cases, I think the clock is being moved backwards. I just started on this journey a few months ago and I have my first required class on Wednesday, then psych and nutrition on 2/15, then a support group 3/8, followed by my pre-op class. The most probable month of surgery is in April and I'm already stressed out trying to figure out HOW I'm going to schedule this around work. I'm a cake decorator so I can't be out of work on Easter, and the only other decorator is going on vacation 4/21. So unless the surgeon can do the operation around 4/9 then I might have to wait until MAY to be able to take the 2 weeks he wants off of work. Yes, I know I'm whining and that I should be happy I'm making forward momentum in this and that it's not like I'm not BUSY otherwise....but I'm just frustrated. I also know that I'm putting the cart before the horse and that everything will work out...but I'm just frustrated! It's funny in that I'm pouting about this and feeling so frustrated that I'm almost laughing at MYSELF in how ridiculous I am being. *sigh*

 

As I said before I have a rather long "To Do" list before I have the surgery. Goals that I want to meet before it happens: I'm going to do a 5K Mud Run/Walk with my bff before I have VSG, yoga training, weight lifting, wedding cakes, plan a wedding shower (not mine), etc so it's not like I'm bored. Perhaps I should use this opportunity to work on my patience...read a few books...work on my patience...

 

Did anybody else have Hurry-the-hell-up-gitis that I'm experiencing? What was your way of dealing with it?

I definitely had this feeling when it came to my husband's surgery. I wanted him to hurry up and have it because I was tired of watching him eat all the wrong things and mass quantities of them. I wanted the surgery more for him. I knew I needed it, and I was ready. I think this feeling is just that. You're ready for the surgery. As for keeping yourself busy before, I love your list of things to do. The gym has been my favorite place to take care of myself post op and pre op. Before surgery that was the one last thing I wanted, that one last good workout before being sliced. It carried me through, but man, I'm back at it and going strong. Best of luck to you on your journey!

Wow, the time will come before you know it. I know, you already know this. This is a great time to learn and practice all you can for the real thing. Like practic eating a little less food, taking sips of water, and gaining alot of info from this site. I am saving a spot on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH right next to me. Can't wait till you get here! ;)
