I can't go until tax return time and I'm consumed with it. I wish I only had a few weeks!!!

Same here. I've postponed it a few times and it will finally happen in Feb. I'm back to obsessing about it and driving my family nuts

Yup!! My husband actually told me he was tired of hearing about it. At least yours are willing to listen.

I'm trying to preoccupy my mind, but I'm a SAHM, bored out of my mjnd, waiting.

It'll fly, right? Lol

He's listening reluctantly, lol! My daughter whom I thought would never get tired of listening told me she wished I'd just get it done already because she's tired of me researching and forcing her to look at pictures, lol! My feelings were really hurt! My 16 year old son has been the one who listens patiently can you believe that!

I'm right there with you, my husband says I have a "one track mind" :)

I've got to wait until Mid February..it's sooo hard to be patient after struggling without success for so long

I try to tell myself that since I've been overweight pretty much all my life (and I'm 37), 4 more months until surgery shouldn't be so bad, but I want it worse than a little kid wants toys for Christmas.

Icon, that is exactly how I feel. Also, I have been pregnant and doing the 9 month wait SIX times. I think about the anticipation and countdowns etc and how fast they came. How quickly in was sitting in that hospital bed holding my wrinkly new bundle of joy. So fast! And now? I barely remember any of my pregnancies.

It'll fly by. In the meantime, I just want to stop obsessing and live my life. Every little moment with my children, the holidays, and enjoy them almost as if there isn't a HUGE life changing event in my future. Who knows how ill feel after. Or if there will be an after. I'm actually learning to enjoy the ride.

Oh I totally know what you mean!! I just try not to talk about it all the time with my hubby he has heard so much of it! Last night I was on here (late) while in bed reading about complications (which I have already researched inside and out) and he took my phone and shut it off and said stop it come here! He held me and I fell asleep. You really can drive yourself crazy! My surgery is the 15th and I am so excited! God bless you all!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
