I would sit down your 16 and 19 year old and have a sweet, calm discussion with them. Tell them why you are having this done, want to feel and look better. Be honest. Tell them that you will not be able to do much for a couple weeks and need their help. Tell them how grateful you are for their help. This is major surgery. Your not going to be able to do anything for several weeks. Make and write down on paper for your teens a schedule of what they have to do everyday for you and the younger kids. Maybe everyday they complete the list you can reward them with money, clothes. Whatever they want. This is going to be hard on them. My 9 year old had a hard time seeing his mommy that way. It will suck, but it's soooo worth it!!!! Do you have a husband or boyfriend that can help?
