I want to say something...please

Good Evening everyone....Hope this finds everyone in good health and spirts.....
I wasnt going to post anything else on the board, because of my actions this past weekend....but I couldnt just leave and not say a few things first...
First off I would like to say Im sorry for the way that I acted this past weekend....Im not usually a mean or disrespectfull person. It takes alot for me to come to that point and then I really try to hold it back as much as I can....
What I said was not really meant in a mean and hatefully way....but I will agree that it came out that way and was I guess if I was truthfull with myself....Yes it was hatefull and uncalled for.....I have tried to come to grips with what I said and just cant get passed the bad feelings that I have.....I have asked for god to forgive me and I just hope that he can see that Im really not that person.....Now for those of you that know how I struggle with that...you know that it took alot for me to do this.....
I just want everyone to understand that this surgery is something that I dont take lightly....so I guess I expect everyone to feel the same way....and thats sometimes is not how things go in this world.
I know that I have offended several people and all i can do now is ask that they forgive me and give me a second chance to show the true person that I am....I just wish that I could do this in person and not were its so inpersonable.
Again Im sorry for any hurt feeling that I have caused and I am truly sorry for that....
Love and Hugs...

It takes a big person to come on here and ask for forgiveness, none of us are perfect and we could all take lessons from this. I for one acept your apologies and as for Misty I pray that she will come to grips with her surgery and do well with it, maybe get some professional help one on one to explain to her what she can and cannot eat. Maybe she has a hard  time understanding what the white binder says. Maybe she just doesnt comprehend things the way other people do. Lets just pray that she gets the help she needs.

Consider yourself forgiven.  I understand where you were coming from.  This surgery is a tool, a gift.  And to see someone abuse it, not follow the rules, when it's there in black and white, is very frustrating.

I got out the famous white binder the other night as I have gotten way off track and have gained back about 30 pounds, simply because I didn't use the tool correctly.  Now I am back on track, and will lose the 30 pounds, and hopefully more.

Hopefully Misty will get out the binder and reread it, and have a great journey.

I am so glad you posted,..and I am so sorry that you got so upset.  I wish that people did what we thought that they should do but they are just like our kids they are going to do what they want to do no matter what we say or think.  I know that this is a better board then it has ever been and that it belongs to everyone not just one person.  It is so important that you stay and post.  So glad you found the courage to do this I know it must of been really hard.  I'm just glad your around.
Hugs Marylin

Thank you both...I have also sent Misty a PM....
Thanks again...
Love and Hugs

Cor i felt where you were coming from...i dont take this surgery lightly either...and yes i get really upset when i hear some one ask questions like that. ...just know that we all love you and we know what sort of person you really are ,,,,,dont you dare quit posting. ok?   Jan

No hard feelings here, It does take a big person to bare yourself to everyone, we all have our moments we're not so proud of, but I for one am proud of those of us that can admit it, not everyoe can or will. I agree about Misti needing some extra help. I think that there is a little more than meets the eye going on there. Please don't leave the board over a silly misunderstanding, we are woman and we react emotionally to things, both in a good way and bad sometimes. we are all fine I love the people here whether I alway's agree with everyones viewpoints or not. love and hugs to you too, susan

As my kids used to say "you are a good egg" so don't sweat the small stuff. We love you.

Sweetie....what am I going to do with you?  (smile)  The 'joy' (she says sarcastically) of being on any board is that nobody can understand your meaning....they can only see your words.  There is no way to convey your heart since you can't type your emotions.  You are passionate about this surgery and you worked very hard to get it...so it is difficult for you to understand why some don't value it as the same as you.  But I think you've managed to get us to understand this...now what concerns me is that you're struggling with God's forgiveness.  He KNOWS your heart, Cor, and He knows the real you.  He is so proud of you and you bring Him joy...so stop thinking that He doesn't love you because you were misunderstood.  You asked for forgiveness, you have it and He's forgotten so stop beating yourself up. 

This surgery is not all sunshine and rainbows....it's a tough decision and a tough life.  There is good and bad and we have to be realistic.

You are LOVED, my friend, truly deeply LOVED.  And don't you ever forget it.
