Scared and needing encouragment
I was terrified before my surgery. Going to a coffee really helped me. I don't know what I would do without those new friends. To see people a few years out and living healthy and happy lives was so helpful.
I'm almost 3 weeks out and yes, as Sandy said, buyers remorse can hit you hard. But I keep remembering why I had the surgery. To become healthier and live a fuller life. I've even been able to go off my blood pressure medications already. And its only going to get better.
If you feel like you need a therapist, definitely see one. I changed therapists to one who has a lot of experience with bariatric patients. She's been very helpful. She's up in Shoreview. If you'd like her name, PM me.
It will all be good. Your son will get past the week you are gone and he's going to be so excited about how much more his mom will be able to do with him!
Please post whenever you need support!
