Going on two years of waiting and finally to the point of just needing ins approval! Feeling anxious, nervous and impatient! Ready to get this show on the road! Any tips for keeping calm during the final stretch??

Wow... you've waited so long I'm SURE it's so hard to be patient now! Maybe try distracting yourself with some of your favorite things to do. Go window/dream shopping at the mall and ust imagine yourself in all those cute clothes.

Here's one I did presurgery... I went through my closet and packed up the old, larger sized clothes that were the wrong season (so, in spring I got out all the large winter clothes) that I didn't even like -- put those in donate bags. Packed up the nicer large winter stuff into boxes (just in case something happened and I didn't get surgery, I wouldn't have gotten rid of everything I owned!). It gave me something to do and made me feel good to know I'm not going to see those sizes again!

That would be a good idea but my wife is more of the shopper in the family. But the other idea is a good one. Found out this morning that they once again may push my potential date back to September! It almost feels like they want me to just give up! But that won't happen I've come too far to give up now!

try making a weight loss graph to track your progress...and a checklist of what you need to do. each time you check off something you know you are one step closer
