Topic: RE: How are you doing this week? - I feel good on this hump day
 I've had a fairly uneventful, boring week... though I am down 20.1 pounds since my surgery.

I had my 1 week follow-up with Dr. Rahman on Monday.  I asked why I was still so sore when my BFF had her surgery a day after me and she was pretty much pain free.  Apparently, due to all of the scar tissue and extensive bleeding under my skin, I'm healing slower than she.   Go figure!

I'm standing up straight and walking without hunching over the past couple of days and getting in more water.  I've always been one to enjoy my water, but after surgery, just the thought of putting any in my mouth made me ill.  I added Crystal Light and am now drinking my required amount.

I'm looking forward to moving from clear liquids to full liquids starting on Monday!

 I too try to stay away from the main board.  I read posts on it from time to time, but pretty much refrain from posting as I have been attacked for merely asking a question.

Topic: RE: Respect yourself
I have found the absolute best rule for me to aspire to is "The Golden Rule".  I am amazed at how many people will easily say or do things to others that would never be tolerated if directed at them.  I think so many have lost the ability to understand what it's like to stand in another's shoes.  Even as a young child I was able to understand what it must feel like to be the person on the end of the abuse.  I think my love of animals is an extension of that....I feel for the helpless and the abused.

Another great rule is to respect and nurture your surgery.  I have found that when we don't take care of our tool that it would be just like we've left it out rain and let it rust.  It will no longer work properly like it was intended to.

Thanks Molly!

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!! I was the exact same way!  I would often say that because I didn't know any better.  I also didn't see another post-op for 3 years after my surgery so I didn't regain because again I didn't know any better.  It was a long time ago and things were very different.  Please spread the word!

I'd love everyone to check out your post on the introduction thread too because I know it gets lost in that long thread.  Everyone it's here:
http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/yvonnegroup/discussion/3999 530/NEW-MEMBERS-Help-Introduce-Yourself/page,4/#33949107

I can only imagine your repsonses on "Do you plan on failure".  I am a HUGE believer that we will get what we believe.  I planned on success and I plan for it every day.  I'm sooooo glad you joined our family!!  We have had several that joined as pre-ops and are at or near their goal weight now.  It is an awesome thing to watch.  So welcome, welcome, welcome!
hugs, Y

Topic: New Member Excited About WLS on Monday 04/12

I didn't know this group existed and am so happy be in a group that centers on "Success". It was getting to a point where I stayed off OH because I was tired of all of the negative people scared of the "What If".

I have spent every moment of my upcoming WLS excited and positive. I don't want anyone to ruin this time before and after. So here I am.
