How do other pre-ops handle feeling uncomfortable in your body as you wait for WLS?

I am pre-op and waiting for insurance approval. I have not seen anyone else ask this question. Every day I seem to be growing more uncomfortable in my own body. It is an odd sensation. I want to jump out of my skin. This is strange for me because I have a good life and have strived to not let my weight limit me any more than necesary. I am not at ease anymore in this 393lb body. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you manage while you waited? I look forward to some of the good things I can create in my life and the lives of others once I am the size I feel I am in my heart. It is as if this body size no longer works for me now that I know it is not a life-long prison sentence.
