Surgery Won't Work for Me!
Ever think "I'll be the one person WLS does not work for!"...? Well, I did... I have had two full blown melt downs about this very thing...
Here are a couple of truths for anyone who is preop or recently post op.. and thinking this very thing.
1. Do not believe everything you think!
2. You are not alone! I'd venture to guess that 95+% of all WLS folks think this at one time or another... and it still worked!
3. IF you follow the plan, you WILL lose!
4. Losing it and keeping it gone are TWO different things...
5. Keeping it off long term...is even harder! (We all know this, we've all lost and regained!)
6. Its ok to have a melt down over it not working... but if you do, keep in mind to stand your ground and DO NOT believe everything you think!! And you will prevail!
I just wanted everyone who might be thinking similar thoughts to know they are not alone.... :)

I was just having these thoughts yesterday. Thanks for the encouragement.
This is lovely :D Makes me feel prepared to wobble without feeling quite so low about it.
You so read my mind!
Good advice, I especially love, \"DO NOT believe everything you think\" never heard it said that way but how true!
