ladyspl 161 Posted November 12, 2012 Woke up this morning to my Zen gone! Holy cow, I'm nesting and crying about possibly leaving my babies mother-less. Sitting at the bus stop with my oldest who is only 6, and I'm staring at her holding back tears. Guess I should be happy hubby and I bought life insurance policies on each other years ago. That way at least he won't have to worry about the mortgage if I go. Snap me out of this guys!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a 33 year old mother of five 19 y 16y autistic 15 yrs 13 yrs mild intellectual delays. And 11 yrs old. I just had surgery nov 6 this year so 6 days pre op. I went through the same thing. I worried about what if I died reality is your not. You know the reasons why you made this choice because you want to live for yourself kids and hubby. Know the death rates are minimal you will be fine if I can do it so can you. Everyone almost who is here had either had or going to have or is in the process . I was worried that I would die and what would happen to my disabled kids as no one can plan life for them like me or can deal with there crazy way my other kids hubby could manage. So I have to be here so they can live lol . Remember the prize better health feeling better about yourself and seeing your kids graduate marry grand babies all the good stuff if you chose to do nothing then those things would be cut -'and may not be possible you want your life back. We are here to continue to cheer you on and support you in times like this or others . You can do this your almost there and then we will be hearing you say sh)t I should have done this years ago. Stay positive wipe your tears and know your not alone .

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted November 12, 2012 Hey Lady, what crystal said, You are doing this for your babies. You will do great. But I think it is normal to have all the feelings you are having. Just don't dwell in one thought place for any length of time. Start dwelling in the happy thoughts and how much fun you are going to have with those sweet babies when you have your health back. 1 ladyspl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LA GP 117 Posted November 12, 2012 I completely agree with the other ladies. Should have done this long ago! My biggest issue so far is I can't eat food. Its tough to see it all the time and then eat broth! But when you start seeing weight melt away you'll be happy and you'll be happy for your decision. 1 ladyspl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspl 161 Posted November 12, 2012 I really appreciate the help! I have a wonderful husband and have to say, am super happy today is Veterans Day, allowing him to be home from work and help me to clean and prepare! I think right now my rational brain is fighting my emotional irrational brain. LOL I think why I have suddenly become scared is thinking about how far from home I will be. My surgeon's office is 2 1/2 hours away, so my husband will have to essentially leave me down there, to return to our children. I know I will wear my big girl panties, but just getting them on this fat behind is the key. LOL 1 Dawn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted November 12, 2012 Lady, when I had my lap band seven years ago, my surgery was over 2 hours away too. Hubby litteally made sure I lived through the surgery and went back home and then picked me up two days later. I was all alone. But I did fine. And it meant more to me for him to be home with the kids then to sit by my bedside so it worked out. But I sure do understand your fears and apprehension. 2 Dawn and ladyspl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspl 161 Posted November 12, 2012 It makes sense for him to leave me, and return to the kids. I mean, how bored would he be just sitting there watching me sleep, then walk the halls? So it's the right thing to do, I will have my phone, which I never go anywhere without! LOL and my bff's and I can text and hubby can call. Thanks! I am calming down, allowing rational brain to take over LOL 1 Lori Rehrer Himes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
