I am a software technical support lead engineer. I did hold the title of manager, but due to some re-organization, they gave someone with 20+ years tenure the manager's hat and laterally moved me into the 2nd-banana slot. That's ok though - now I only have to work 8 hours a day :-)

Desk job, so, I was back at work the next morning after banding - from home of course :-) I'm back in the office today though.

I do have an interesting background though... US Marine Corps reservist as an MP and full-time LAPD for several years during my 20's... So, my current job (have had it for 10 years) is a far cry from where I used to be.

I'm a Web Developer.

Same here with the sitting all the time. I bought some dumb bells from the store and I'm going to use those however. Getting in exercise is important when you work 8+ hours a day and get little exercise. With just a pair of dumb bells i can do all kinds of exercises.

I'm a Locomotive Engineer (Hoghead) for BNSF railroad. It is without a doubt the very best and most fun job that I have ever had. I just started my 15th year this last November. I can't think of ever doing anything else.

I work for a small independent Oil and Gas Company in southeast Texas. My title is "Operations Superintendent" which really means chief cook and bottle washer / jack of all trades....master of none!

We have crude oil and natural gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and some operations on land in Louisiana and Mississippi.

I started out working for a MAJOR oil company for 13 years, then got lucky and found this small firm that I've now been with for the last 15. I enjoy my present job because the only people I answer to are the two brothers that own the company. Great people....great atmosphere.

Now if I could just get rid of all this fat! :thumbup:

Hammer :thumbup:

I own a company that sells blueprinting machines. I drive about 50,000 miles a year and have been making bad food choices on the road for 20 years. Like the selling part, the rest not so much. No hobbies to speak of, but I have a lifetime worth of things to do that my weight has stopped me from doing.

What is on your post weight loss list to do? I am interested to know.

      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.
