I am basically a bum. I work 12 hours a week for an attorney. The rest of the time, I just goof around.

I'm a food service manager, or the lunch lady for a residential school.

I'm in school full time for business management and MBA combo program.

I've worked in food for 20 years and need to get away from where it's served.

I am a mama...I have three little girls ages 3.5, 20months and 20 months.

In addition, I am a master procrastinator...My house is never clean and my dinner generally comes from a store.

BUT...

My kids and I play all day...ride bikes, take hikes, do puzzles and color. THAT'S why I'm a stay at home mom...not to clean my house!!

:)

Pre-kids, I was an English teacher at a local HS.

I am a forced retiree. I worked for the largest electric provider in Texas for 31 years. My job was outsourced overseas!!! Anyway, I was ready to go and I practically begged them to take my job. I drove 100 miles a day to and from work in all the traffic. So, I am a happy retiree!!!!

I am a cardiovascular technician too, but I do stress testing and EEGs (don't ask me why the brains get lumped in with the hearts!). I just started preparing for the REEG-T boards. Yikes!

      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.
