TENaciousTENS "roll call" as promised!



Recommended Posts

Hi Misty.... Welcome to the October TENacious TENS, we are happy to have you aboard... I am sorry to hear that your Dr had a family matter to take care of, but you are thinking right when you say that a week is nothing compared to the rest of your life.. Besides that us in October are a little more 'Goulish' about giving up our 'Goblins" than the peeps in September... lol

Hi Karen

Where are you having your surgery? I'm in Toronto with Dr. Yau. I am so excited and ready. I can't wait to get through this. I've been pretty hopeless (no pun intended) for the last 2 years. I lost 100 pounds then had my best friend die suddenly, a friend committed suicide, and two relatives & two of my cats die all with in 3-4 weeks . I curled up in a depression and went to bed for three months . Imagine to my surprise after the three months that I gain about 60 pounds then I was in a motorcycle accident and couldn't walk for a while there goes another 60 pounds. I kept trying to will myself and talk myself back into diets only to discover I just didn't have it in me. I couldn't afford to diet cause I couldn't afford to gain it back. When I heard about the band I did more research and talked to a few people I finally got my hope back.... So now that I'm ready to go I just want to go... I know patience is a virtue but I'm so tired of living in this over sized shell. Anyway (sorry for the ramble...lol )I can't wait to get started. I hope you are looking forward to this next step also. We will have to stay in touch and encourage each other. Good Luck!

Hope(ful):-)

      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.
