REQUEST: Forum for Positive Upbeat Posts
I see you are having the lapband in October. In that case, you'll need the full on Unicorns, Rainbows and Leprechaun group. I am positively overjoyed to see how it goes.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
I would love to see a forum for positive upbeat posts. I respect that people may be having a bad experience and need advise. I'm wondering if there is a forum that is upbeat and positive? I would love to read and share positive motivational posts about weight loss.
this IS the forum for positive upbeat posts!
They're interspersed with all the other posts. I think this is good, because I want to see the entire range of experience, not just the happy stories that will give me a flawed view of what I'm getting in to.
I'd feel this way even more so if I was considering the lap band :/

Hi Treadmillwalker 
We are sorry if you feel you had a bad experience here on the forums. We encourage everyone to post and some do so with more passion than others, or perhaps a style you don't care for. Example I have had pictures posted of me as a unicorn with rainbows, (we won't note from where) 
And others are more in your face.

Kathy, maybe OH can help her set up a group that she can control the tone of the conversation and only allow happy upbeat stories? I am sure a lot of people would like that, right?

If you're choosing the Lap Band, you're going to need a forum with honesty. My advice is that you hear all... good, bad, and ugly... so you can be truly informed about the decision you're making.
If you want upbeat and motivational posts about weight loss, maybe visit Pinterest. There is one other forum, the name of which I won't mention here. It's just rampant with misinformation disguised as "upbeat" and "positive advice." I'm pretty sure a quick Google search would bring it up.

Tell us how you feel, Nic. Don't hold back. Lol.
The amount of misinformation disguised as "support" is just dangerous. But it's certainly more "upbeat!" If you end up with complications, the posters won't hesitate to let you know all the things you must have done wrong.
