Opinions, please!

Hello! I had abdominal laser lipo 2 months ago, and I'm feeling down. I don't have a pre op picture bc i forgot, but here's what I look like now. Really lumpy, still huge. I know it takes time, but im nervous.

My body rejected the stitches and had a hard time closing back up. Surgeon told me to stop wearing compression until wounds healed. Just now did they finally heal up. Work hours got cut so I cant afford a masseuse now, but luckily I still have the roller to do lymphatic myself

My work is pretty sedentary, been sitting a lot. We've been having to rely on junkier foods bc of my wage loss, and im running out of hope. Do you guys think I still have time to get good results if I just work out and stay moving? I'd like to look NOT pregnant bu the 6mo mark. My post op appt is in late September. I'm so nervous

Seeking advice for op tomorrow

Hello! Tomorrow I have scheduled abdominal lipo. I will be awake for it. And while I've had open heart surgery and back surgery after a MVA, I put on so much weight and feel like I cant move. GLP-1 backfired and gave me gallstones so bad my whole organ had to be removed.

Stomach keeps pulling on my spinal hardware and causing so much pain, so I made the jump to go under the knife. As someone whos has some crazy surgeries, are there any good advice youd recommend to prep for tomorrow? Anything to make it easier for the surgeons or for me post op? I didnt shave my pubic/ stomach area for fear of micro tears/ infection. I dont plan on putting on scented lotions or perfume. How would I best set myself up for success?

Am I worthy of entering into a TST ceremony?

I'll try to keep this short- My bf is a card carrying member of the TST. My sister's getting married soon, and we were kinda messing around with the idea of one day marrying ourselves. He suggested trying to do it at a TST branch. And while it's a long way out, and we were only messing with the ideas, something is nagging at me:

While I have no problem with this idea, I personally shy on the philosophical (not religious) beliefs of Taoism, where I trust processes, "go with the flow" w/o question, and I don't believe in revenge, b/c I know it'll somehow come back to me negatively (in a consequential way, not a karma way?). I believe that when I pass, my matter then gets returned to the earth in ways that feed the next generation of living animals, and it comforts me. Not sure if that's considered "spiritual". I feel that my life is no more important than a blade of grass, a tree, etc.

What I'm getting at is~ would I be considered worthy of being able to go into a TST wedding if I'd be considered more spiritual? I wouldn't want to go into a ceremony that I have little education on, and I don't want to disrespect the organization by using its services w/o being a member myself. Of course, I love the work the TST is doing for our society, but I feel like I'm not "good enough" to fulfill my bf's wishes one day. Thoughts?
