I am a retired former CEO in the midst of an earnout, trying to figure out what to do once we get bored. In the mean time, it provides lots of time for family, entertainment, and personal growth.

I wear several hats! By day, I am a third grade teacher in the 2nd largest elementary school in the country (1,450 students K-5). By night and weekends I am a partner with my father in a real estate company. Also, I have been singing professionally for 12 years now...when I can squeeze it in. I mostly sing with my band Poor Baker's Dozen, but I also lead music at churches, and freelance in studio for other bands and commercial work.

...oh...and I find time to be a daddy of 3 beautiful children.....MAKE THAT 4 IN SEPTEEMBER. WAHOOOO!!! Never a dull moment in my life!

I love hearing what you all do, by the way. What a fascinating mix we have at LBT!

Thanks Susan!

We are thrilled. We actually haven't told anyone yet. It's different this time, as we lost a baby in August with a bad miscarraige. We will breathe easier after the first trimester. She's two months along now, and she is showing tell-tale signs that all is well, so were very prayerful that God will send us a fourth miracle. We have been so blessed. I'll be sure to keep everybody posted with pics in September.

Just retired not to long ago as an ER nurse for 38 years. I think I've seen it all and am richer for the experience.

      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.
