hmmmm I have done a few things . I was a Firefighter for a bit. Up until recently I was a Correctional Officer working in a prison. I resigned and moved to Florida a few weeks ago. Now am in the process of going over to Iraq as a firefighter contractor for a year. I just need to loose another 17 lbs to do that. So hoping to leave around December. Until then I am kicking back working out and getting myself in shape. :biggrin1:

I was an account manager for a financial services company where we managed the relationships with banks/other financials for their debit, stored value, health & transit cards. Quit that to work a 3 month contract position for my favorite nonprofit - which ended up being only 3 weeks. AAAAAHHH so now i temp with Office Team at BP. But I just applied for a job that would be a HUGE good fit at the Center for Financial Services Innovation - its the financial i have always done & the nonprofit i long to do ... SO PLEASE cross those fingers for me!!!

      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.
