Time is going so slowwwwwwwwwwwwww

I still have 18 days to eat solid foods. And 32 days till surgery. It seems like time is crawling. My date is July 27th. Any advice on how to get the time to go by faster??? Rita

Hi Rita, To be honest I'm having the same feeling. Will the time ever go buy quick enough.. Have you been up since 3:51 am? Try to go back to bed and sleep some of the time away, it works for me. Though I do hate it. I wish I was able to go out and do alot of things like other normal people. My back pain keeps me from doing alot. I'll be out soon enough, July 6th is my date and I can't wait then I'll never be board again. Cheri

Cheri, you time is almost here you must be so happy and excited!!! Yes, I was up at 6:30 my time and couldn't go back to sleep. Let me know how you do and how things work for you post-op. OK?? Rita

Rita, Hi hon I most certainly will keep you informed and you as well ok? Yes I am getting more and more excited each day but the days are getting longer and longer here too. Cheri

Like they say, a watched tea kettle never boils Try to keep yourself occupied. It's hard not to think about it. (esp if this is your first surgery ever) I like reading,writing,research,playing with my pets and playing trivia games. I am trying not to get obsessive about the big day. It's hard though!! Lately, I have been watching previously recorded live webcasts of others having bariatric surgery (from NIH) I like to compare/contrast the different techniques that each surgeon uses and I take notes.
