Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I found out that a dear friend of mine passed away on Friday. She had WLS a few months after me. We got to be good friends through support outtings, Email, and I would give her my old clothes which were too big for me. Not only am I shocked but very saddened today to find this out. It is unknown what caused her death at this time. AS I sit here and think the old me would have been binging by now so I wouldn't feel my pain. But instead I first contemplated going to the gym making excuses not to go and then I decided it would be best for me to get my emotions out through exercise and got through my routine and processed my thoughts but realized that I can still feel sad but work them through in healthy manner such as exercising I have encountered many similar situations since my surgery(almost 3 years ago) and each time I get stronger and realize I don't need food to make me feel strong or get through pain. I just wanted to share this as I am sure many of you have encountered dilemas throughout your post op recovery and now I realize my friend is gone but is still here in spirit and would only want it this way: Exercise!! Thanks for listening you guys are truly great support for me. Always be Optimistic as a good Positive Attitude takes us a long way and remember our new motto " a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing " . Please feel free to Email me or call me as I am always here for you and you have been for me.
