Obsessed?

Is everyone this obsessed when they decide to have weight loss surgery? It seems like that's all I can think about. I have been on twitter trying to find other people who have had or are going to have surgery. I also have been looking for books on amazon from people who have had the surgery. I would appreciate any advice from those who have been there about books or products they have found helpful.

otherwise....I did not walk this morning, I was so sore when I woke up but I will make myself go for a walk tonight. It's a little too hot right now in Florida to walk during the day...well, for me, right now. Can't wait to see how life changes

I have one good friend who has has a gastric bypass. Though she is a size 0 she still feels like a fat person sometimes, she forgets she no longer weighs nearly 300 pounds. She and I have talked a lot about addiction transfer and I know I need to be really careful about that. She went from being a food addict to being an alcoholic. The alcoholism has done as much damage to her body as the extra weight ever had. More about my friend later.... I am a food addict, and get addicted to things pretty quickly so I know that after surgery I need to be very careful what I allow myself to do. I have already quit smoking and will stay away from alcohol.
