New Post-op Tip Of The Day
Today's tip is about support systems. It is very important to be around positive people and to seek out support systems. There are many ways to do this such as, support groups, family, friends, message boards and counseling.
It is important to find what works for you and that means to try several of these options out first. Counseling is included in our support system because it's been said numerous times that they operated on our stomachs and intestines and not our brains. You might need help to overcome your addiction to food and fight the head hunger. Also wls patients are at a greater risk for transfer addictions because we can no longer turn to food.
I have found great support on OH and from friends that have had wls. I am still looking for a support group to attend in my area because one stopped meeting and another one has changed locations. I am making a goal to attend a meeting in March.
Don't hold everything in and ask questions. Start jounaling if you have to but remember that everyone needs support.

You are so right about support. My doctor's office is 1 1/2 hours away and on Tuesday night. I have meetings every Tuesday night.
OH has been my main source for support. I have to say you have done a great job.
Thank you all.
