Possessed by the WLS demon.

I am dragging butt big time today. I sat until 4am printing off info about WLS and generally reading a bunch of different stuff. I made a binder on my WLS journey. I am obsessed with this surgery! I sleep, eat, and breath this surgery. It is never far from my mind. It is getting a little ridiculous. Does anyone have a spell, some magic potion,....maybe a preist would help! Hummmm do they have WLS Anonymous?? Anyway I hope everyone is having a happy, stress free morning. Tomorrow is a big day for all of us. I will see you then! Sherry

I felt that way quite often in the very beginning of my journey. Then once I got my approval it was hard to think of anything else. Now my surgery is just 4 days away and I find myself thinking of A LOT of other stuff besides surgery. I think it's pretty normal to be "obsessed" about it for awhile.

Sherry, I'd like to tell you that it gets better...but here I am 19 months post-op, and getting on here at least once a day, every day. I spend an hour or so with my Fitday charts & diet journals a day, I walk at least 5 miles a day, going to the grocery takes 4 times longer than it use to because I'm reading every food label for what-ever I have on my list to try to find the lowest calorie/lowest fat/lowest carb/lowest sugar/highest protein/highest fiber that I can. Shopping for clothes takes longer because now I need to try on anything I buy or I end up with a pile of new clothes to either return to the store (which I don't do) or donate for the clothing exchange before I get much use out of them. I read all I can about complications & their symptoms (because I'm prone to get them!). I have met with people specifically to talk to them about WLS..an ambasador of sorts. So....guess I'm possessed too. Others on here are too. Look at the regular posters...possessed! Look at those who get the bags/baskets together for the newbies....possessed! Look at Dan's Smoothie Bible...that SCREAMS possessed! LOL! It's a good possession though! This possession enables us to have our Wow moments...down to a size/weight ___, being able to ____ (cross legs, ride rides, drive, walk, off drugs, not use a C-Pap...just to name a few), ect. Welcome to the possessed club! It's the first step to the loser's club! LOL! Sherri

Your right Dan's Smoothie Bible was possessed! I loved it.. My computer is getting overloaded with saved info on WLS. I have well over a 1000 page book started on my hard drive. Anyway more the heck over so I can have a seat with you nut jobs!! Dang girl your hip bone is jabbing me!!! Loser in Progress

I definently know what you mean. I thought it was just me but I'm glad others share the same. Here I sit waiting to hear something from the doctor's office each day to see if the psyche doctor has written my report yet and sent it to the office. He said he would have it by Tuesday to them. I realize I am not the only patient that they are working with so I am going to have to learn patience. I too eat, breathe and sleep WLS!!

ooh my gosh...i know i was that way...and still am
