positive

I am a little older than ya'll but not by much. I have been lurking around reading some of your posts, and it saddens me. There are SO many negative thoughts in you guys post. The best way to live life is to be positive. I know that I am only 1 month out, and that I do not know everything, but I do know that I got where I am in today because I thought positive about the surgery process. I knew it took time, and I knew my life would change, not only for the better, but some parts for the worse. You guys have your WHOLE life infront of you (same with me) and thinking this negative is a sad existence. Good Luck to you all... pre op and post op, and even those lurking thinking is this for me?. alexis

Im positive, but not everything in this surgery can be sugar coated...

exactly! id rather not have bad things sugar coated, specially when its this important

*sarcasticly* um, thankyou all mighty alexis for those encouraging life changing words! LOL!!! Just kidding! No im not. Your right though! Its good to be positive!!!! But just because you might be faking being positve ALL the time about EVERYTHING, that doesnt mean that THATS why you got surgery. lol!!!!! ~Amy pre-op 11-5-04

ALEXIS I AGREE WITH U ON EVERYTHING, THINKING POSITIVE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN CHANGE THE WAY U FEEL NOT JUST EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY BUT ALSO PHYSICALLY!!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND NOT TO DWELL ON STUFF AS MUCH AS IT MAY SEEM LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD FOR A WHILE, SOONER OR LATTER THINGS WILL GET BETTER AND WHAT U THOUGHT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD WILL LOOK SOOOOOO MINIMAL. ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALING WITH SOMETHING LIKE WLS THATS A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE EVERYONE SHOULD JUST TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF ITS MEANT TO HAPPEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND KEEPING A POSITIVE MIND WILL HELP EVERYONE NOT ONLY URSELF SMOOCHES!!!
