    chris54 got a reaction from Mytime45 in Consequences of no protein   
    Your nut should have given you a range to target. Like everyone else said Protein is very important. I have increased my protein and Water and the weight is falling off and I am healthy that is really what you want so please dont worry about gaining. Eat protein, drink water and exercise this is the new life style that you have now. If we are honest fear is what got us all in this situation in the first place so why hold on to it. New day, new life new YOU good luck

    chris54 reacted to mahow in starting bad habits   
    I have also been struggling- I just confessed on the confession thread a few days ago- it actually has helped me! I realized something had triggered my regression. It was a multitude of very emotional things over the month of June. I didn't realize that I wasn't handling things well and everything wasn't bad stuff.... I have decided to forgive myself first- and take one day at a time! Today try to avoid the junk food, make sure you get your Protein and Water in! Just focus on one day- I am on my second day of trying to just avoid the junk food and I am happy that I did it yesterday! Stay in touch! We need each other!

    I wish u both success you will do great. I had surgery 10/29/12 down 87 pounds it is truly worth it but u must b committed to the process and mainly to yourself. There will come a time when your stomach will heal and thats when u will begin your battle. So form great behaviors NOW Water, commitment to self, exercise and renew your mind u sb ok. Good luck don't forget to pray and ask God for help he is always there.

    Nursebarbie according to your profile you are not even 1 month 1 week post op yet so you have not been sleeved long enough to experience the true physical and emotional journey you are about to go on, (no disrespect intended) her daughter is young going through all kinda teenage changes society has already placed a bad rap on young beautiful girls making them think that if they r a size 0 they have worth.

    Deedadumble very well said and thoughtout plus others hve pointed out the danger associated with surgery period. In my opinion the support has been given its up to her. Either she will take the emotion out of decision and look at it logically or she may have to live with a decision she may regret. I am a adult 9 months out 83 pounds lost and it is a life style that at times can b over whelming. Docs in the u.s. r not requiring u to see a nut, psychologist classes, support groups just for the hell of it, its all there for a reason. Even if your daughter get the surgery the fat is not going to come off instantly she maybe still teased at school so this is not a quick fix, u need to find out what's going on with her emotionally first b4 surgery

    Wow this is a big one. She is just 14 even adults struggle with the psych part of this procedure. It's more than just weight loss. I know according to my plan u have to see a shrink before surgery. I think u might want to rethink surgery for her now. U get it done and u both change your eating habits and take her to a shrink so she can get help figuring out why the behavior. If u don't figure that out you will just transfer addictions. I always say emotional decisions made usually r bad ones. Good luck
