As some know already, I am having trouble with my teen son too. He has such a nasty attitude and smart mouth. I totally understand where you are coming from when they decide there are not going to do something or wear something.. etc. So frustrating! Good luck on your journey!

I'm pulling for you. I'm not looking forward to my son becoming a teenager. I hope you get approved soon so it is one less thing for you to worry about!

Girl, I wish you the best. I for sure know what stress is all about and what it will do to ya. I have four boys. None of mine are teens yet though. All of mine are young (4,5,9,10.) My oldest two are autistic, my baby is legally blind and my other one is just a brat. I feel like pulling my hair out on most days too. It is a constant circus here. I decided to do this, because it was time to do something for me. I have run myself in the ground over the last ten years trying to do the best for these kids and it has taken the toll on my body and mind. This one is just for me and here's to you too!

Thanks so much. So very sorry about your babies. I have such a struggle in my daily life. Many days I wish I had not of had children at all. Then I meet people like you that have lost theirs and I feel like dirty for not being thankful for what I have. I just feel like it is more than I can bear sometimes. That is one of the main reasons I am seeking this surgery. I need to improve my health so I can take better care of these children. Unlike most women, I may be in the role of having "children" at home the rest of my life ( unfortunately one of mine may be a a six foot tall, 300 pound man with a third grader's mind). I hope for the best, but plan for the worst. My biggest dream is to go a day without pain and the large bag of pharmasudicals I have to take. I would like to go walk one day and not spend the next day in bed. Boys need a lot of special attention.

i have one teenage daughter that is 16 and a middle of puberty 13 year old boy, and then an 8 and 1/2 year old girl going on 18 (lol)

i just tell them like it is. i give them respect and they give me back what i give. i make sure to tell them all of the mistakes that i made, even the ones i really dont want to tell them, but i feel it is more productive to tell them what really happened in hopes that they learn from my mistakes. try to keep your cool, and remember you are in charge, no matter what..... you cant be their friend, but you can be someone they come to when they need help.

good luck ladies, both with surgery and with the boys :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
