Positivity

Hey there sleevers
There seems to be so much on this site giving warnings, dos and don'ts, watch out for this and be careful of that. They are all VERY important and are needed, but can we try and have a bit more fun, positive encouragement, targets and goals achieved stories?
I would love to hear how your lives have changed for the better. Keep smiling folks as today is a good day. Carpe Diem

Awww I did think most of these posts were positive

Also when you reach 50 messages you are able to see people's diaries - there are multiple success stories and stories of struggle too. They are interesting to read and help a lot at the start of your journey. Hopefully you reach 50 soon

I think we are positive, certainly nearly everyone's diary I've read has tales of gratitude for the positive changes losing weight has brought but what makes them all the more valuable is the honesty. It makes it a lot easier to post when it's not going so well or the day has been difficult knowing that other people have been there. When pre oppers are scared, understandably because they're making such a huge change to their bodies and lives, most are grateful for honest, balanced answers. I know I was. If everyone had just told me how fantastic it would be from the off I'd really have panicked when I woke up feeling utterly lousy and ill for a few days.

We have bunnies that sing YMCA you know and inappropriately busty bananas . We are all about positively, we're also about being honest and realistic

Yes if I had just heard positive stories and non negative pre op.. especially with how ill I got three weeks in I'd of been so ticked off hahaha. I got to read about the "post op blues" and it prepared me because they really did hit me hard. I cried at masterchef rofl. They may have been the pain meds though. Typical!

I also really enjoyed the Eurovision song contest the night I got home but to be fair I was still on a LOT of morphine

Hahahahah I think it's like starryeyed said, when I'm able to read people's diaries- I will see a bit more. Hx
