Well as I have been going through my new journey with my lap band I have been looking for a job. Today I was told I got a position that I have been wanting for years. I am so happy and so had to share it with all of you. Thanks for all the info you have been giving me over the last 3 months...I'm leaving offices, but not this site for sure...I still need you all!!! :D

Thanks Everyone...feel like I can do it all now...for a long time thinking I was too old to move on with my life and no one would want me has been very depressing for me...but as they say you are as old as you feel and I feel like I am walking on clouds right now. So I reached one of my goals-to get that job I've been wanting for years...and my second one which I still need to achieve it getting to my goal weight which I am working on with the help of all of you!!! Have an absolutely wonderful day!!!

Yippee! I really feel like in the process of choosing ourselves and our healthy futures there is so much else that happens -- maybe it's the law of positive attraction at work, or the power of intention. We hold new intentions now -- showing up for ourselves, getting in sync with our bodies again, seeking real health -- and it's amazing what else falls into place. So happy for you -- out of food jail and office jail -- wow!

      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.
