I went on an interview after I had taken off 100 pounds. I bombed the interview because the weightloss was on my mind. All I could think of was sagging skin! OMG....... I left thinking how bad I did. At one point he asked me to tell him a little about myself and I was stumped ...... "uh, duh......." All that kept going through my mind was being banded and all that goes along with it. I should have told him about all my skills! I didn't say anything about my weightloss or the band, but couldn't get all out of my thoughts.

Try to keep the job in your mind and what you can bring to it. Keep your job skills on your mind. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to think about how you look.

Good luck to you. I hope you get the job. :)

I just had an interview and was concerned because my clothes were baggy. I interviewed for the same position in July and now I was back 33lbs lighter. Nobody said a thing (probably didnt even notice).

Best part is that I got the job and am moving back to California after 8yrs in TX.

Interview went well as well as interviews go that is...I had to fill out a comprehension evaluation on myself and one of the questions was something like what is one of the goals you are working on and what are you doing to achieve it...I put weight loss..Duh right!

Well we'll see if I did well if they call me for a second interview.

As far as my closet needless to say I got a long way to go before I fit into some of the nicer things but I was able to put on a nice pair of slacks that I havent worn in over 5 years so that's a plus!!! :D

I'm job hunting too! I told my mom I'm not buying an outfit until I get an interview because it won't fit by then! Haha. Nothing is more uncomfortable than interview outfits, so I'm glad to lose weight and find something that fits good and looks nice :)

Zen, here's hoping for a call-back!

Nan, I was a central valley-ite for a while. Sacramento and Red Bluff (by Redding). I loved it up there! My job brought me down here. Love it here, too. Home is where you make it.

Cocoa,

I am moving to Turlock. A small town in the Central Valley, near Modesto. I wish it was SD!

Nan! If you're looking for a doctor...try Dr. Coirin in Modesto. You're moving about 15 minutes away from the town. No...it's not San Diego...but...you're only an hour from BART (the rail system that goes throughout the Bay Area) and if you wanted to drive to San Francisco...it's an hour and a half with traffic.

Dr. Coirin did my surgery 1/10/11 and he was great. His office is just down Spanos behind Memorial Hospital off of McHenry Ave in Modesto. Welcome to the Valley! You'll be here just in time for summer!!

Thanks for the heads up about the Modesto doc. I lived in Modesto for about 20yrs, now going back. I am going to work at Emanuel Med Center in Turlock and they only have 1 doc on their plan. Dr Dao, so that is the person I have to use, or self pay.

I am sure he will be fine.

Also Zen, my fingers are crossed that you get the job!

      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.
