Mandy, you have to get some positivity. Each day you need to sit and think of one good thing about yourself. We all have lots of good points but cannot see them without a little help. I'll start you off for today and you can add one tomorrow, maybe you could start a little list on your fridge?

You offer support on here to other people when they have concerns.

Oooh and from what i remember you are very very kind to animals xx

Hi Mandy, I really hope you feel better soon. I think Julie's idea is a good one. Sometimes we can forget that there is good in us and about us (I'm chief culprit here so wish I could take my own advice).

One thing that has helped me lately is listening to very very chilled music - my son gave me 6 CDs of "Psy trance" music - I had never heard of it as am old (41) he is in his 20's and knows about this sort of thing! Anyway, a "band" called Shpongle do this really mellow sound scape music which is just interesting enough to listen to but very relaxing. I fall asleep I get so relaxed. This sort of thing might help you relax and at least give you a break from your worries.

Kind wishes to you

Hi Mandy. I think phatmomma's thinking along the same lines as me! As I said (on another site), you have a lot going on at the moment with your bypass without having to worry about gallstones as well. But if you look on the positive side and remember that you are in the hands of the delectable Guy Slater and that it's all going to be sorted for you, well, you have soooo much going for you! Chin up hun, I hope you feel better soon. Remember the song from The Life of Brian - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Take care, Mxx

Hi Mandy
Thats a good idea what Julie said . You are a good person and the more you tell yourself that the sooner you`ll start to beleive in yourself hun . I honestly think if you think positive you will become positive . So chin up and you`ll get there . Good luck and take care .

Mandy i know how much the agony of gall stones is. Try to avoid the foods that can set it off, unfortunately when i had them i was told it was from having an epidural whilst giving birth so i never changed my eating habits.

You should be so proud of yourself, you are coping with this sometimes intense pain, you are being very brave in going for a surgery which will change your life forever (for the better i might add). Well done on getting into bed instead of the sofa last night, this sounds like a real big deal for you, so you deserve praise for it.

Try and find some relaxing music (or some relaxing old lady radio station) and just remind yourself every day. You really are a wonderful person who deserves a wonderful life. And, you had your hunk of a surgeon on the bed too i heard XX Smile because your worth it xxx
