25th is surgery date and I am exhausted and eating

I have been reading the post here for surgery dates in March and I think I am really out of  touch   Everyone seems so excited  I am feeling exhausted and find myself binging more then I Have in  4 months.

I have a feeling it is just the relief of not having to jump thru hoops and round up the ducks and can now do other things besides keep appointments and maybe even clean my house.

Today I did what I always do when I am out of control I take the journal I have been keeping for a while ...Get a cup of coffee and sit and read it  then add a new entry....it puts thing in perspective.

It may be that I would self medicate myself with food to feel numb and not deal with stress..  But now it is like   OMG how the hell am I going to feel numb or zone out.     My answer is that it will be replace with something I have not concept of or what but it will be different for sure.

Anyone else feel this way once they got approved.

Hello, Globirdie!  I'm Kelly and I am also scheduled for the 25th...I'm have the Realize band, though.  Anyway...I was super excited when I found out (I just found out on Thursday that I was approved).  However, today in the mail I got a large packet from my surgeon with tons of forms to sign, 4 appointments to get to, and financial obligations to take care of.  I am now freakin' out a little.  I want this so much...but, holy cow!  A lot to do in the next 3 weeks!  Not really eating my feelings, but still very nervous.  It's all natural, right?! 
Anyway, nice to meet you!! 

I think all will get back on track in the next few days... Tormorow I am back at the pool   that always makes a difference.    

I found out Weds myself.   At first I felt like I did not want to tell anyone then it sort of got the best of me....But I am in controll today and will mover forward from here..

Good Luck   hope to hear from you on the other side of the 25th

I haven't told very many people myself.  Just a choice few who are close.  I just feel like this was a personal decision for me and don't feel like it's anyone's business.  I know I'll lose weight at a slow rate, so I can say it's from diet change and exercise if asked.  But, I've lost/gained so many times, I doubt people will ask

Hi.. I'm a 3/25 person too.. less that an week to go. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with things that need to get done around the house before I'm in the hospital for three days. Reading blogs and posts here definately help me to relax and put it all into prespective.

A few close people know what I'm having done, and the rest well they'll either figure it out or they won't. I think at this point I have tooooooo much on my mind to even put alot of thought in to it.

I'm having RNY at Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY.

Ladies..Take care of yourself and if you don't mind I'm going to add you as friends....and would love to hear your updates and how you are feeling....or just want to share your thoughts. Take care..barb
