I am a sales engineer for an electrical company that sells to the construction industry. Needless to say I researched the procedure before signing up. Best move I ever made.

I am God..

No, sorry, that was my internal dialogue.

I do pan western/eastern hemisphere paper-clip distribution.

Nope, that's not it either, although it is often close.

Closer to the truth? I do legal navel inspection and belly button fluff removal in failed or fragile states.... :D

Love this thread.

I'm the codes and standards manager for a plastic piping company. Hold many positions on various construction code bodies and ensure my companies products and installations confirm to the appropriate codes and standards for the jurisdiction of installation.

I might be in the running for the need award!

Why are there so many nurses in need of this surgery?

I feel a little guilty, I think doctors are partially to blame. I know I was always advised if the nurses were giving you a hard time or paging you all night, the solution was bringing a box of donuts or cupcakes to the nurses' station!

I am a RP (Rapid Prototyping) Supervisor. I make the first of everything, from pen caps to helicopter engines. The parts are literally grown layer by layer using liquid photo polymers and UV lasers. In lay-mans terms....3D printing.

I love what I do. I have the opportunity to work on something different every day.

Although, prior to this I was in the Jewelry industry for 10 years. Prior to that I was a corrections officer.

Lets just say I am diversified.

I'm a 911 dispatcher for a three county dispatch center in Northern Michigan. I've been working midnight shifts for the last 12 years and for most of my adult life. I'm curious how many others would attest that shift work throws their eating habits (and sleeping) into a spiral of chaos?

      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.
