Pre-op "nesting"?

Hi Everyone! Bridget here! I am scheduled for RNY on 8/8 (I am SO excited... I can hardly contain myself )... I find that over the last few days that I have been preparing my apartment for when I come home post-op. But not in a normal amout way... lol You know how pregnant women often "nest" before they have their baby? Thats the way I feel but I am in supersonic cleaning and organizational mode... I organized my clothes by size then organized the sizes by type (pants, shirt ect) and color. The livingroom, bathroom kitchen... I can't stop! I feel like I am going crazy! lol I think I just need to relax and take a bath! IS this happening to anyone else? Please tell me I am not alone! Bridget

You are definetely NOT alone!! I told my husband that I feel like a pregnant women that was nesting. LOL! I just made ANOTHER list of what I needed. Have my own cabinet space readied. I DARE THEM TO TOUCH IT!! LOL!! Have my own SF popsicle space out in the freezer. Cleaning just isn't cutting it. Nothing seems to be right. Oh yea,,,my surgery is also August 8th! Right around the corner! A nervous wreck but a READY nervous wreck. Anyway, rest assured, you are normal. If you aren't then there are several of us that aren't. Good luck! Judy

Nope your not alone. I took vacation the week before my surgery so I could clean house!

good thing to know I am not the only one doing it I think we are doing it to keep our mind off of it or to make the time go by faster I have 3 kids and 2 of them are toddlers so you know I am cleaning everyday and it is like I cant do enough laundry I practically cant wait until they take it off so I can wa**** lol I plan on having everything perfectly in place when I go to the hospital so when I get home I can not worry about it and concentrate on getting my butt up to walk I cant even sleep at night as it is I know the night before I wont get any sleep hopefully I will find more laundry to do Cindy

I am doing this SO much! lol I had severe damage from last year's hurricanes and so now I'm getting my old house ready to live in as well as getting my temporary..( a year already ) home ready for when I get out of the hospital! I have a huge dry-erase calendar that I put daily things to get done....it has been jam packed for the past two months getting ready for this surgery. I can't seem to stop organizing EVERYTHING! I'm less than a week away!

I am SOOOOOO glad that I am not alone.... My new discovery... Pregnant women Nest, WLS patients clean and organize! Good luck to everyone on your upcomming surgeries... My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Bridget :sexy
