My surgery is on November 13, and I am going a little stir crazy these last few weeks. I feel like time is slowing down and I'm just ready for it to get here already and it's making me agitated. Has anyone else experienced that? It's probably partially because I'm miserable at my job five days a week and I'm looking forward to the time off, too.

I totally feel your pain. I remember wanting time to just hurry up, and I too was/am miserable at my job. Having 6 weeks off was soooo needed.

Your surgery will get here soon enough, then you'll be counting down the days until you can chew!

Good Luck to you!! :)

I'm extremely impatient (just ask anyone who knows me, including my saint husband lol). I found that spending my time reading through the forums here and taking notes, doing additional research, and watching documentaries and YouTube videos about the surgery I'm getting helped distract me from time slowly passing by. I also journal my thoughts and progress in an private online journal (penzu.com), so I can feel like I'm doing something in the waiting time. Luckily my waiting time is almost up, so now I spend my waiting time just getting prepped for post-op!

Hang in there!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
