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):-)

        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
