My story is definitely a "good news/bad news" one. The good news is that I have a job that will not go away EVER. The bad news is that I'm a health care worker. Part of me can't wait to be at work because I'm going crazy here at home, but when I get there I start worrying "Am I gonna catch this thing?"

Yes, I know what you mean.

But then again I have that thought every time I leave the house and go shopping. Part of me wishes to catch it soon, have a mild case of course and be over with this s*it.

Believe me, your very thoughts have crossed my mind also, but at 65 it's kinda scary...

I'm essential so I'm working everyday 6 days a week. But I find due to stress and fear and huge anxiety I'm eating WAY too much and mindlessly. Of course what I'm eating is slider foods. I have stopped losing and I gained 2lbs! (I'm a year out) I've definetly got to do better

I am currently working with a precious, medically fragile 19 month old in a private home. I am actually increasing my hours over there to limit his exposure to other nurses. Just the parents and 4 y.o. brother in the home. Buying essentials online or using curbside to limit my exposure. Talking and texting with friends a lot more than normal. Worried about some of my dear friends (musicians and restaurant owners) who basically have no income during this time. There are not too many cases here in Central Texas at this point which I think gives people a false sense of security. Hoping for the best.

      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.
