Have you been to Weighty Secrets yet?(http://meltingmama.typepad.com/weighty_secrets/)
This comment was received on a post there the other night. I found this link on melting mama's blog and it got me wondering (http://www.meltingmama.typepad.com/). I thought the comment below was so true. To find a GOOD blog period is hard to do. Why is the truth so hard for people to share and learn from.
Comment: Search for any wls blogs or stories or even posters on wls boards from post ops more than two or three years out...they are virtually non-existant. Nobody posts on boards more than 2 years post op. Blogs are abandoned at two years out. The surgery has a honeymoon and people still in that period tend to get very emotional about defending it. Once the regain, ruptures, complications and malabsorption side effects take over, these people feel like failures and hypocrites and go into hiding. Where are the ten year post-ops? Or the five year ones? That's who I want to hear from.
There some what right... I have a hard time finding blogs that talk about how they really feel. How things really are for them. From emotional, physical to all kinds of things we should share and keep sharing. THE TRUTH Just because in one year we see our self as skinny does not mean life will be perfect once again. That's when we should keep sharing. Not just about the weight, but about life, stress, family, life's struggles, our health, taking care of our body's. Blogs that talk about what's really going on in our heads and body's. What's is really happening with our bodys after time has passed. I don't want to just keep this blog for the "honeymoon" period of my WLS. I don't feel I have to defend my choice of having WLS, but I want to learn from it. I know for me that WLS was not the easy way out. In many ways it has been hard, and in many other ways it has put me on the same playing field as others, it gave me a chance. There is just way more to me than my weight. Way more reasons I was fat to begin with, I want to learn and share those ideas and thoughts too. Just because you had WLS does not mean you no longer struggle with a lot of the same issues. I sure wish when Dr. R bypass my intestines he could of bypassed my head and the things I tell my self. I've had to learn to be nice to myself and I'm still learning. I enjoy sharing my WLS story, life, family and ups and downs of my crazy/stupid/silly head. And I hope me blogging and sharing will help me learn from myself and others. So keep blogging friends. I myself want to read and learn from others struggles and thoughts and experiences. I know it helps me when I know someone else is dealing with the same issue and have the same struggles. Life has just begun bloggers, so keep sharing so we can learn from each other! Lets talk about the good along with the bad. Share the truth of those tests and the thoughts in your head.
