Last minute BIG DOUBTS

My son who is 22 came to me this morning with concerns and worries about me having surgery in the morning. I'm scared now and have been crying and considering backing out. He thinks it's too big of alteration with unknown things I might regret. He really doesn't want me to do this. He's an health conscious and excersise a. ETAC and has seen me lose 30 lbs in the last three months. I was commited this morning and now feel sick with doubt.

@pinkbunies Those white tight leggings are sexy. lol

@@Pac-woman yes. I was up and going 15 minutes after surgery. I also sent a text to everyone in a group I made prior to going under and sent it to them and said I'm done.

I had no appetite for about 5 days and I was scared to drink too much for fear I might cause a leak. I think I walked like 5 miles on Saturday when I got back home. I took no pain meds after getting home. I hated those stupid leggings things. lol

Lol. Hey I took lots of pics for everyone haha

My husband and sons did not support my having surgery, but I did tons of research and I knew it was my only hope for long term weight loss and better health! I knew how to lose weight, I didn't know how to keep it off. Take care of yourself and trust your gut!

Suspence is killing me!
