Wow, I didn't realize that other people felt that way. I understand what you're going through as a parent...an with the weight. I had my daughters very young, and didn't know what to teach them because I didn't know myself. They grew up following my bad habits. I had the sleeve in 2010, and did great....until I had a life changing stressor that put me back on the road to the tormenting yo-yo of control. Eventually, it seemed that I felt like I never had the sleeve. I had no clue what to do.
I believe bariatric surgery is a great tool, but would tell people to please recognize it as such. I didn't change what SENT me to the fridge, therefore, I went back. I didn't really change the eating habits I had either. I wound up apologizing to the girls for failing them in what I taught (or didn't teach) them. They're grown now.
I'm so thankful to God to have found Plexus, as it has made me feel like my sleeve is tighter than ever, and keeps my blood sugar leveled at all times, so that I'm not running for the bite size candy bars anymore. Everyone had to find their way, and I just want to encourage you to keep learning, growing and you'll make it! Your daughter understands that us Moms aren't perfect...too bad we don't find that out earlier!!
Blessings to you and your weight loss journey!
