Stephannie 300 Posted February 17, 2014 I'm so happy for you. I say just take it one day at a time. Stay accountable and remember WHY you did this. Write down all the things you want to do AND all of your worst "FAT MOMENTS" (one of mine was not fitting on a roller coaster) and look at it when it's though. Remember the head hunger WILL go away and don't give in. This is probably the most controversial statement I will make but get back to life ASAP!! I realize that one of the factors to my success was that I went right back to work. (Surgery Thursday back on Monday) I'm not saying that's best for you but idle hands..... Now, go rock your sleeve and keep me updated!!!! Xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrantS1976 243 Posted February 17, 2014 Advice... take the time you need to recover. Get up and moving like the doctors will tell you. It feels like the last thing you want to do, but it does help. Don't be a hero, no shame in taking the pain or anti-nausea meds if you need them. The need for them will pass in a day or two anyhow. Most of all, just stay positive and remember why you decided to do this. After a couple days you will be feeling good, and a couple months in you'll feel great and wonder why you didn't do it sooner. 1 CrazyJaney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
