ADVICE-1 DAY TILL SURGERY

Hey all, im 24 and im going in for surgery on Monday!! (the 24th) im really excited but im also nervous! How has everyone else done who has had it? We are still young, so how have you guys handled exercising so that your body gets firm instead of flabby? How do you go out with your friends and explain why you cant drink or eat like they do?? I havent even told most of my friends (except the closest ones) because I dont want them thinking im taking the "easy" way out or thinking it's too drastic because they just don't understand the surgery! So how do u guys deal? Let me know???? Thanksss!!! ~vicky

How exciting!!! Congrats. You know...I have dealt pretty well. I still have some firming up to do, but I'm just in the beginning months. I didn't really have to explain anything to anyone. I just went out with my friends the other day and they didn't think anything of me not eating as much as them. They are excited for me. I haven't told hardly anyone about this surgery. The people that I told I know I can trust. There are a lot of people who still don't know and won't until I feel I want to tell them. And don't feel like you took the "easy" way out because this is not easy. It takes hard work and dedication to have this surgery. I have a lot of new found courage and confidence since my surgery. I hope this has helped you a little bit. If you need anything more just email me...I will respond back same day. I hope you have a text book surgery and a speedy recovery. Take care!
