My wife is a former social worker and sometimes doesn't understand how I thrive in that environment. However' date=' the money makes it worth[/quote']

I meant to say that is Wall Street and I've been doing it for over 20 years, the money, toys and power make it worth it.

Interesting and fun topic, hopefully when I get home tonight I will have more time to read through it all. I work as a coordinator for a major non-profit agency. I am also a health advisor for MySurgeryOptions.com, owned and operated my Alex, who founded VST. I love everything I do and stay quite busy.

I think that there are so many here from the medical profession specifically nurses is because there seems to be so many obese nurses! Just my observation

Wow, very interesting. Just wondering what your qualifications are for being a health advisor?

      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.
