As I am just beginning my journey post-op I've seen a lot of people relate it to being born again. I'm always looking for inspiration and thought I would share these words from Deepak Chopra:

"You are [newly sleeved], right in the middle of a transitional phase. You relate as someone who is growing into a new person. That person won't fully appear for awhile. Yet the tendencies are already in evidence. Be gentle with this new person as she is being born. Be just as gentle with others. Realize that much more is going on beneath the surface than they are letting on. Associate with the most positive people in your group, not the most popular or the ones everybody envies and imitates."

Have a great new day!

There's a lot of wisdom in those words--thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! I'm being very careful who I let know because there are so many negative people out there. I only want positive in my life.

I agree with the words of wisdom and only sharing with those that will support not pull down!!
