I am a teacher (4th-6th) grade English, Social Studies and Keyboarding. I dreamed of being a stay a home mom, so I envy you! I didn't find peace until my boys were old enough to come to school with me. Next year, my oldest will be in my class. Should be interesting. I love teaching.

Nursing would be my next choice of career. I'd like day surgery, like my step mom works. The money is fantastic.

Way to go on being a stay at home mom!!!

I am an RN and work full-time as a critical care educator in a large university hospital teaching RNs to work in ICUs. I am adjunct faculty to several colleges and universities and mentor 8 graduate students a year. To cap it off, I'm in a full-time PhD program with a specialization in adult education. I completed stages one and two and am now a doctoral candidate and move onto the dissertation. I need more hours in the day. LOL.

I am a CA by profession but now my husband and I own a fine dining restaurant in cottage country, we live and work in the same building. He is a professional chef........argggghhhh....so hard, this is such an unsafe environment for me.

I also own a small ladies fitness centre based on the Curves concept....it hasn't help me to lose any weight because until now I haven't been able to change my eating habits.....however, it has kept me from expanding..it does help me to maintain my current weight.

      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.
