It gets better

So I’ve been seeing a ton of posts about people feeling rough after surgery or hopeless and I just want to say it does get better! Be strong and hang in there because you are worth it. Your reasons for having this surgery are worth it. Your health is worth it. Ignore the haters because they love to see you fail. I was so down about my surgery and honestly I still question it but I am only 2 weeks out. Today was the best day yet though because I just weighed and I’m 5 pounds from the 100s! Take the small victories where you get them in the first few weeks and celebrate having a new life to look forward to! There may be bumps in the road but you are strong enough to get through it and thrive. I hope everyone who reads this has a great day tomorrow and everyday after. Just keep your head up if you are struggling because like I said, YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Hopefully anyone struggling will see this. Many times people only post if something negative is happening. But so many positive things are going to happen you won’t believe the changes in your life. In three months, six months.... it’s incredible.

Just power through the rough patches!

The struggle is most certainly worth it!
