57 Days!
Well, it's officially. May 9th is the date for my surgery. I'm bummed that it's not sooner, but I'm trying to stay positive. What really upsets me is that I'll have two periods while I'm waiting. My RE did give me a prescription for Percocet and told me not to feel weird if I need it refilled. He gave me 36 of them and said that it was a few days supply...I'll be surprised if I need more before May. I hate taking narcotics and only do it when absolutely necessary...I'd rather suffer through the easier pains and save it for the horrific ones.
Anyway, I've decided that instead of obsessing and worrying about my impending surgery for the next 57 days, I'm going to lose 20 pounds instead. That gives me something else to obsess over and lord knows I could stand to lose 20 pounds (more, actually, but I'll worry about the rest of it later). It seems like a reasonable goal and gives me something to put my nervous energy into. I had to stop running and doing Pilates a while ago because it just caused too much pain for me, but I'm hoping I can slooooowly ease back into both so I don't shock my system too badly.
Hopefully I can keep myself distracted with this and the time will just fly by!

Sounds like a good goal. I am like you and have alot of nervous energy and need something to focus on, lol. Good luck! Time will fly by I\'m sure :)
Waiting always sucks. Glad you found something to focus on to Help the time pass.
I had to wait a month for my surgery and it actually went by really quickly. So hopefully your 57 days goes by fast especially when you are putting so much energy into losing weight. Good luck!
Sorry the wait is long, I am sure it will pass quickly with your new goal!
