Emotional First Aide Kit (book)

​Not sure if this will help or not but there is a Book called Emotional First Aide Kit that addresses so many of the issues surrounding Bariatric Surgery.

I know before I started this journey I knew several people who had done this and had gained every bit of their weight back.

I did this for health reasons of course will be nice losing the weight.

However I want to be as armed as possible. I did not go through all this to gain it back. Also I have had people say: "don't you remember so and so who did that and look at them now. One thing is what is going on with "them" is their journey not mine. I hate it when people cast stereotypes.

I do see how important it is to stick with my resolve, Address issues right away and not wait, See the surgeon on scheduled visits.

Make Health and fitness a high priority.

Because I live in a rural community there is not a lot for support groups locally. Thank goodness for technology. I hope to use this site as much as I can. Is a way to get and give support with people in or close to the same place.
