aloha - what about if you try to sell Pampered Chef or tupperware or Avon or other products from home? There are lots of new alternatives like Southern Living and all that...you might try an eBay business from home or something - just a few suggestions

good luck - chin up - get motivated, success is the best revenge! go... gooooo... Gooooooooooooooooooooo!

Remember that the best way to combat stress is to take care of your body. Eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest really can have HUGE impact on your ability to cope with stress.

I do work from home--but in a sort of small niche (educational publishing). It's worked out really well for me. I wasn't always in this field--but parlayed my education and experience into a job that has allowed me to be at home with my kids. PM me if you want to talk about it--sometimes fresh eyes can help you think of things to do with your background that hadn't occurred to you.

      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.
