Concerned about surgery and recovery time. I am 5' 2''. My weight fluctuates between 140-145. This is heavier than I would like to be before TT; however, I feel like I need a new me. I was formerly anorexic in my 20's. Gained a significant 85 lbs with each biological child. Got down to 123 by running. Had knee surgery 4 years ago and am not longer able to run. Hence, weight gain and turning 40...So concerned I will not be happy with the results. I am a little too self conscious to post photos. Most of my family and friends think I am having surgery because of "stomach issues" (part of that is true). My husband is totally committed in taking care of me. SOOO scared. I have not done well under anesthesia.

33 Days Till Surgery
motherofsixNovember 8, 2014
I feel the need to get Christmas presents and all done before surgery. It is only 33 days away. Some of this is for selfish reasons. I wish for my hubby to be in a place where he can help me recover, instead of worrying about Christmas. In the meantime, I am home schooling and teaching at a co-op 2 days a week, plus volunteer interpreting (ASL) at church every Sunday. It will all get done...I am not confident in my own strength, but God's. On a different note, I have lost my camera...so, I cannot post picts. I will do as soon as I can...and I get the courage.

You should definitely be ready for Christmas before hand .you are not going to want to deal with shopping after

Yes you need to do that. I just had my mm on the 25th and not being able to do things around the house is very difficult for me. I know if I hadn't finished ny shopping and wrapping beforehand I would be so much more bothered. I would try to rush my recovery. I have 4 of my own and 2 foster children all under eight. Christmas is a lot of work that you do not want to be burdened or worried about. You will be much more rested emotionally if you get that off your chest!
