Sitting at the Ford dealer waiting for my truck so I'm using the time to go back through the thread. Amazing number of Healthcare related folks. So Psycologists, why?

I also found I posted mine twice

I truly think that as healthcare providers we are trained to always put others first. As a student nurse I had clinical instructors who actively advocated ALWAYS skipping your lunch break to spend more time with your patients.

It's nice but you also need time for yourself to eat and be healthy.

So we are always last on the list until one day we decide to make a change.

And let me also say it's common for Nurses to not have time to take a break due to very sick patients etc. what do we do? Eat the crummy Snacks we stock on the unit. Graham crackers, jell-o, juice etc....

Much like us, show up at the gate, 30 minute turn and look for something, anything to eat. McDonalds, Chipotle,...... some kind of fast food. Then we inhale it and sit in the seat for the next 3 hours get to the hotel knocked but up for bar food.

I will say that now that I am doing my liquid pre op diet it's easier!

I was just saying how much easier my mornings are because "packing a lunch" means grabbing Protein

shakes, broth and pre made high protein jell-o.

So not only is it easier to pack but I'm always prepared which is HUGE for me.

Hope you find it just as easy when you transition to pre op diet

I am also not beholden to the Hospital cafeteria to provide a decent meal. God knows that is always hit or miss!
