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):-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
