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 :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
