I taught a Freshman seminar class for many years. The best advice I can give you is to use a day planner. The key is: time management, time management, time management.

I'm an academic advisor and this is one of the topics that I speak to my students about. You need to understand time management skills. Planners are great for that, as are wall calendars for the daily visual reminder of due dates.

I agree. Be sure and schedule EVERYTHING: sleep, meals, exercise, work, classes, homework, exams, assignments, study time, project milestones, fun, social time, church/spiritual practice, family obligations, etc., etc., etc.

I'm 42 and slowly chipping away at my MSN. Taking a break now until after surgery. Congratulations. It's easier now that I know my girls are old enough to do their own laundry or make something to eat if I'm too busy.

      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.
