Everyone's Opinion Please!!!!!!

Well we know that this IS the best message board around right???? And I understand that us being SMO, alot of us just don't visit any other board. I do sometimes. But not often. (I'll admit it) Sooo, I would like to suggest that we start posting more about food and information on the surgery. I would like to "steal" this idea from the main board and post it here daily just so maybe some of us who need to be "accountable" for what we eat daily, can post. And also it would be good for those of us post op to have new food ideas. This idea will be for EVERYONE!!!!! Preop/Postop/and waiting on approval!!!! I know that personally it would help me out alot to post what I've consumed daily and be able to see it and I could really use some new ideas on food choices!!!! Please let me know if you think this would be a good idea or not. Everyone's opinion counts here. You won't get "lost or ignored" as you do on the main board. Love~ Carmella

HEY CARM, WHATEVER YALL DESIDE, IM WITH YA... I DONT LOOK ON THE OTHER BOARDS OR ANYTHING BUT THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT IM SURE. I JUST FEEL COMFORTABLE HERE AND DONT LURK MUCH LOL. BUT WHATEVER WE DO POST IS ALL GOOD WITH ME. I CANT LEARN ENOUGH FROM WHERE IM SITTING AT TODAY SO YEAH BRING IT ON LOL HUGS MARGARET

Carmella, Im totally in support of your idea.. It is so important not only to be "accountable" to yourself, but sharing with others on the board will be useful for everyone in all phases of the journey.. Those who are waiting or undecided will have a better idea of what daily life post op is like.. and those who are freshly post op will get a better idea of what to expect down the line.. Im only a couple months post op and Im already searching for new and different food ideas.. I get bored so easy with the same ole food day after day.. So any new foods, recipes, or idea are always welcome.. I will openly admit I do go to the main board every single morning when I wake up and take part in Michelle Cs " how will you be kind to you today" post.. I love that post, it reminds me everyday to do atleast 1 thing for myself.. It keeps me from forgetting to take care of me while Im busy with everything else in life.. Its so easy to get lost in everyday life and forget that you have needs too.. So Im all for bringing in more ideas and info on life as a post op, surgery, foods, exercise, etc.. The more info we share the better off we all are.. Amber M*
