Count me in among the nursing crowd! I am a clinical educator in ICU / progressive care / acute care here in NC.

Betsy, I agree with your point. I have always taken better care of everyone in my life than I have of myself. Now, it's time to focus on my health!

Isn't it interesting how many of us have nursing backgrounds? My therapist has pointed out more than once that those of us who are caretakers often care for others at our own expense....I know that definitely factored into my own obesity.

I don't think it's just nurses...it's all the health care professions!

I'm a long-time med tech, who now supports the laboratory information system at a large university hospital. I'm from central Pennsylvania.

I'm from Cleveland, TN (still here). It's about 30 miles NE of Chattanooga. It's definitely growing!! I'm a student (even though I'm taking this semester off because I'm so burned out on school) and I own my own business, which is a ladies shoe boutique with handbags and jewelry too! I'm also a wife, and hopefully a mother one day!

      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.
