I'm a techie - I do work on computers, satellite and all things hardware and software related. the new job is actually an opportunity to create my own job, b/c it wasn't a position the company had before...I get to help people work out their computer problems, software conflicts, all kinds of good stuff...basically I think its going to be like help desk plus. Now how do I commute 40 miles one way, work 8-5, and fit in my gym and steps...or maybe I take my bike to work and ride it around the parking lot...? Anybody want to give me some suggestions on what they do? Also, what do people eat for lunch, etc.? I haven't had to worry about that since i've been home...protein drinks? Soups? Medifast? LOL I'm strating to worry about the have to get lunch and there is only fast food or stuff that I can't manage to get down...

I work from 6am until 4pm, and now I am working OT and not getting off work until 530 or 7.

I try and (okay I was doing this) walking at lunch. We have a great area that has 2 nice size hills and it was 2 miles. It was just long enough to get in in the 30 min that I had available.

I take my water bottle with me and keep it there all day.

I either eat with friends and choose something healthy off the food line, or bring my own lunch. I think taking the bike too work is great and would love to do that, but we dont.

When do you start??? I bet you are so super duper excited, and nervous too?? I sure would be.

TB, good job on the job!!! Take your lunch with you, then you don't have to worry about the wrong choices.

J, someone has lost two more pounds? I knew you had, but seeing it is great!!!

I go to the fill place on Monday. I honestly don't think I have lost a pound since last time. I am so disappointed in myself and the things that I will put in my mouth. (Don't go there BJ)!!!!!!!

I guess we will see. I have stopped weighing at home because it got to be such a dissappointing thing when it did not move, I was depressed the whole rest of the day. I was only weighing on one day of the week, and I would go down to the store that has a blood pressure monitor and a scale device and do my weigh in there, but I haven't done that in four weeks. Drats!!!!!

So, Thursday I woke up feeling not so good.:rain: Under the weather. Friday, I woke up and felt like shit. My head was pounding all day long. With congestion in my sinuses. Stayed in bed most of the day.:notagree

Today I am feeling better but my throat is hurting.:sick I HATE flu season, and it hasn't really even begun yet.....

Suppose to snow here today and tomorrow. That makes me mad:mad: because I need to run.

Happy Saturday to all

Hey J - Was insomniac last night - woke up at 3:20a & didn't get back to sleep until 5:30 or so. Feel like crap - I didn't sleep very well while I was in DC, either.

Off to go for a 2.5-3 mile walk with the wife and doggy. Then, it will be time to start studying again...

thanks, mbs - it was pretty demoralizing...the economy here in Houston at least doesn't seem to be impacted too bad with the whole mortgage mess, and it still took me almost 4 months to find something remotely paying comperable to my last one...oh well...keep chin(s) up!!! LOL

      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.
