I am so frustrated and really need some advice...

I read the daily "Q&A's" that OH sends to my email box, I hear stories of people doing well, I look through the before and after photos and see the changes, but it makes me sad to wonder if I will ever get to see this miracle in my life, in my body. Things are still tied up at my surgeon's office... Thursday I saw my therapist and she told me that she had sent a letter to my nutritionist. On Friday I got an email from the nutritionist saying that she would put the letter in my file and that my "case" would be brought up at the next clinic meeting on Wednesday, and after that, she would let me know if my case was going to the insurance for approval, or if there was anything else required of me to do prior to it being submitted. I am so tired of waiting for it. Part of me just wants to start eating the carnation instant breakfast, or just put myself on a long-term liquid diet and forget about the surgery. I am so frustrated. Yes, I have issues with food, how else do you think I would have got to 312 pounds... does anyone go into the O.R. with perfection? I don't think so. I've admitted to binge eating, they are worried it will continue post op even thought the nutritionist told me I'll just make myself sick if I do that... I get that. I know they are all just worried, but it still sucks. I thought I would have already had my surgery by now and cannot believe I'm still waiting. I don't tell people anymore that I'm having surgery, the ones that know still know, but I got tired of people asking "when?" Would love any and all advice and encouraging words, really needing them right now.
