I dispatch for a police department and have been there seven years. Was an officer at one point but didn't like it so I went back to dispatching. Now looking at also becoming a volunteer EMT.

Slackaction,

I hope you're kidding about the railroad! Stand tall and proud. I have two railroaders in my immediate family. My sister is a conductor on a freight line for Norfolk Southern... "The Thoroughbred of Transportation."

:heh:I have student loans, she doesn't. On top of that, she makes more money than I do. Boy, if I had known that, I would have skipped law school, for sure. Plus, all that hopping on and off of trains keeps her slim. SHE NEEDS NO LAP BAND.

Sorry, do I sound bitter? LOL

I was curious as well...but glad you asked it.

Own my own company called The Beauty of Grace and I distribute Avon products from east coast USA all the way across the US down to just past the equator.

I also train other men and women to do the same. Buy Avon as a personal consumer or start their own Avon business.

I started out as a personal consumer...single mom and couldn't afford retail...even at Walmart. So I found Avon and get all my things at a discount...50%.

When it came to the band, I wanted a 50% discount, too...and I found a great surgeon who only charged $7,000. Guess the businesswoman in me stretches to other parts of my life.

So, if any of you need to save money or earn some extra cash... contact me.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
