I Got Questions About Jobs And Going To School Plz Help



Recommended Posts

hey guys i hope everyone is doing great. well i did get my lapband sept 29 and since then from 319 i now weigh 286 im so proud of myself. Anywho i am currently looking for a job to better myself and my one yr old son. how ever now everywhere i look to apply something that takes my interest they require a degree of some sort. I personally dont much work experience except at daycares thats it. well im very interested in working at a police department inputing information on to the computer. maybe working at a courthouse or something. or maybe perhaps i can go to school. im not into the whole community college different class thing. im wondering if theres a school i can attend that i can learn some basics or what not. i am in public assistance and i think its time to give some one else a chance and little by little get off the help. i really want to do things on my own im getting my confidence back and im starting to feel like a new person little by little =] any help would be appriciated. or maybe any ideas on employment that dont require much i need to work for my son. thanks in advanced guys godbless and good luck with your bands or the band process. I LOVE MY BAND

Congratulations on making such great steps to improve your life and to set a good example for your son. I would suggest that you work on your punctuation and grammar to improve your employability. I hope you find something soon.

Public assistance offers free classes in language, GED, looking for jobs that suit your education and experience. I would start there. Start writing your resume and get help with your grammar and punctuation. Best of luck!

      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.
