Just wondering, what's the difference between you and a school psychologist?

I am a LCSW. I am a school based therapist at an elementary school and I have worked as an weekend advocate at a shelter for victims/survivors of domestic violence for 12 years. I live in Arkansas. I had my surgery on May 10, 2013 in Mexico and I am down 58 lbs since the day I decided I was going to have this surgery and 38lbs from the day of surgery.

How much time did you take off of work? I am considering having surgery Thursday or Friday before I have the week off for Thanksgiving. Just wondering if I would be ready to go back to work after the time off. I teach middle school, and am usually on my feet all day, but can teach from the stool. Would appreciate any advice!

I am also a teacher and soooo happy I had my surgery ove the summer. It took me a good week and a half to two weeks before I felt like I 'could' go to work (even though I'm off for the summer). I was soar and had a lot of left over gas which wa painful. After the second week I was out and about as normal. Hope this helps!

I could wait and do it at Christmas Break or even next summer, but really want to make the change as soon as possible. With 2 kids,14 and 12, I think Thanksgiving would be better than Christmas.

A school psychologist has a doctorate. I have a Master's.

      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.
