Re: Thank you

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your response to my question about

bpd vs. bpd/ds. I have to make my decision by monday

so I can schedule a surgery date and without all of

you I wouldn't have anything to base my decision on.

Again thank you all and God Bless you.

Be Happy

Sherry,

Don't take his decisions personally. It's hard enough to deal with this as an

adult- let alone a teen. He feels different and angry enough at being different,

and he does not want to eat differently too. It's just easier for him to let it

out on you and reject the diet at the moment.

Don't let the diet become a power struggle or wedge between you. Let it go, but

let him know it is available. He knows he needs your love and support right now.

Who knows- he may come back to it later.

Focus on feeding him healthy foods. If the dinner table becomes a war zone,

that won't work.

I'm also a parent of teens and it is really hard sometimes learning what to

insist on and what to let go of. We don't have much control over what they eat

at this point.

board. So what I've been doing is trying to be a lot more conscious of what I am

feeding him here at home. I know that what I give him is better for him and yet

I've become discouraged by his response to the food. I am seeing that because he

is not on the diet and openly accepting it that he's also not open to trying new

things. I think it'll be a long process of changing the palette as well as

convincing him that this is the best choice for managing his disease. I feel

like I want to cry. I want this so much for him and he's not having it. I guess

I'm the one that needs to let it go-for now. :-)

I'll be back to ask some more questions when we're actually doing the diet. :-)
