Thanks I'm going to look into it

Cool! Amazon has it for $26 I think. Not a bank breaker but when you think about that much on a water bottle it seems expensive. I don't own one but my sister has it and is obsessed. She got it around Christmas and I haven't seen her without it since.

Being a CNA is a very hard job! I did it for 20+ years and that is the reason my back is messed up. It gets harder the older we get. I switched jobs too cuz I just couldn't handle it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

The HydraCoach Intelligent Water Bottle is amazing. You program it and as you drink it counts your ounces and you set it to whatever ounce intake you need for the day. It's a bit pricey but I think it's well worth it!

Omg!! That looks amazing and I'm so excited about it. I'm buying one. Thanks so much!

Having a rough day so far. Nothing sounds good to eat. Everything I try taste nasty. I had V8 and trying to eat some cheese but it is just not setting right. I want a cheeseburger :(

You should look into working for a company that has group homes that support people with mental illness. those homes have hands off staff and its more administrative. you would still be in the business of helping people but a lot less physically worn down. ... I can't promise anything about being mentally worn though lol.

I worked in a DDS group home for four years that was full care, hoyer lifts and all from 18 -22... Yes, young but always very heavy. Maaajor back pain even then. I made the switch only because i moved and it was the best decision. No more soreness! :)

      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.
