No Energy
Don't worry this is so normal! I had so many nervous breakdowns the first few weeks, thinking about what I had done. You get over that sooo fast though! I couldn't be happier with my decision. I feel wonderful now, with no pain of any kind. Plus you start losing that excess weight and you can't believe you ever doubted it in the first place! Praying for you!

Ive Cheated Every Day
I would agree that it's a maturity thing, but not an age thing. I'm 19 and I'm doing just fine. However, the idea of having such a life altering change at a young age may seem a little more drastic so I can see why people my age would be freaking out a little more.
