All I think about.

Thank you so much. I was approved for my new insurance and they will cover 100%. They said the approval process will go very quickly also. I am so happy!

My surgery tomorrow is all ive talked thought and dreamed about for months now. i have  7 hours to go then i will talk about how i feel and how much weight im gonna lose lol. You are definately not alone.

My family does not want to know how much I've lost or that I fit into size 8. Although I am thrilled and want to share my good news with them they are tired of it all and do not want to hear about it anymore. 

Yeah 9 months out and it is STILL all I think about.  I try so hard not to talk about it.  I realize that this is not a daily thing for those around me.  But I still feel rather self absorbed.      You sound normal!     Good vibes for your journey.

This site is an outlet, too. Use it often! GOOD LUCK AND PRAYING FOR YOU!  

Been there, done that.  It seems to be common when researching and preparing and the first year or two is pretty mind consuming also. 

Yeah, my family got tired of hearing about it, too. And it got worse for my daughter as I got thinner and thinner and approached (and then bypassed) her weight. (FTR she's 5" taller than me, and at a very healthy weight. And she admitted she was being irrational about being upset about me weighing less than her and wearing the same size clothes.)

I stopped talking about it. She didn't want to hear about what size clothes I was wearing, how much I'd lost, what I weighed, what I was eating...

And now that I'm at goal the need to talk about it has stopped entirely. Everyone is used to what I eat. It doesn't bother my daughters when I borrow their clothes, or they borrow mine.

I'm right there with ya!  My surgery is March 25 and I can't wait! 

Mine is in June and while he hasnt said it I can see Hubby is getting tired of hearing about it.  I decided to try not to bend his ear too much on stuff (more than once every other day or so..LOL) .    I am not sure I can do it thought as I am a talker.  I need to say it out loud to think it through.  He is not so much so this is not the first or last time this will happen.   He did say he will come to my nutrition class appointment.  He is a chef by trade so having him there and making him feel more apart of this and helpful I think will be good.  Knowing he heard what the NUT said and Surgeon is saying and actually letting him be part of the talking versus talking at  him (which I found I do sometimes)   

Thanks for posting this.  SO GLAD I found this forum to yap with people.  You guys are pretty Great!
