TENaciousTENS "roll call" as promised!



Recommended Posts

Hi all, it looks like I'm part of this huge group TENaciousTENS. Operation is scheduled for the end of this week coming. ;)

It could be delayed but I'm hoping not. I have a very positive attitude and a delay will not get me down but could take me out of this group. I will know more on Tuesday.

Let's all think good thoughts for Sonic777 that her surgery doesn't have to be delayed. How difficult to be ready, excited, nervous, and then possibly have to wait longer. We are hear for ya! Let us know.

Hi all. My date is just 4 days away and I am very nervous. I am more concerned with recovery, I am going back to work on Monday, 4 days post op. I am a kindergarten teacher, so I dont do heavy lifting or anything like that...it is just the pace of the day that is worrying me. I sure hope all goes well. I have told no one at work about the surgery. Only my hubby, mom and 2 friends know I am having the surgery!

Well, doing much better today as far as gas pain. I think I am trying to get too much in too soon. I feel like I need to burp but cannot, which is good because it would probably be a productive one.

The port was very sore fiorst two days and has settled down now. The doc fixed me up with a great anti-nausea drug so I have not had to contend with that.

I still feel anxiety and would love to hear about your success after surgery. I weighed, and know I am suppose to do so only once a week....but can't seem to wait! I am down about three pounds, lost 10 during pre-op.

keep your eye on the prize gang!!

Hi all, I was banded on Saturday 6th October. I have to admit I'm struggling - spent last night and the one before sitting up as every time I lie down I vomit. The ports have been a little uncomfortable but nothing too drastic. I feel like I have the worst reflux - pain in my chest like a lump that is only relieved when I vomit/reflux. Obviously aware that vomiting is a no, no so I'm trying to stay upright. Finding it difficult to keep even small sips of Water down but I know it's only day two post op. Anyone out there? Feeling very sorry for myself!

Hello all! :D

I'm scheduled for banding on the 16th I'm scared, excited, nervous, all at the same time. I'm a little nervous about taking care of my son. I'm a single mother and my son is 2. He still needs to be picked up to be put in his car seat and crib, etc. Hopefully I can figure out how to do it with out damaging myself when my surgery is complete!

I'll be praying for all the October bandsters to be.

Janet :nervous

      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.
