Back On Track Together
Develop your support network.
Develop your support network.
Sometimes the most effective way to feel better is to get help with a problem, rather than falling into self pity. When you connect with another WLS patient, you can support each other through the ups and downs after surgery. Keep in mind that asking for help can be just as supportive as helping another. You can call for help when your resolve is weak and know you will be understood. Asking for help is strength; although, many people feel like they are going to bother someone or they are afraid.
The more you ask for help, the easier it becomes to call on your support system. Before you know it, this system will become a vital part of your life.
Action for the day: Remaining part of a support network is still important, no matter how far out from surgery you get. Today, check on a fellow WLS patient to see how he or she is doing.
