I am a panel electrician for a company that builds paint systems for the auto industry. Just 40 guys and me. I can't wait to lose this weight so they might treat me like a female...Nah after 17 years there, I'm always gonna be one of the guys! But I love 'em and they are all rooting for me! Course if I fail, they will all say...Isn't that just like a woman! Spends money for something that doesn't work! But secretly, theres a couple of guys waiting to see how it goes for me, because they are considering having it done too

I am an Organ recovery nurse. I go out and talk to families about donation and then if they wish to donate their loved one's organs, I stay and make it happen by setting up the process and finding the matching recipients. I work on call from home and so I have access to the computer on and off all day.

I am a Program Manager/Project Manager in High Tech in Silicon Valley. I telecommute full time which, believe me, is not a good thing at times. Go for the new job when you are feeling better. Its great to get outside of the house. Good luck.

I'm a stay at home mom to my 8 year-old triplet boys. Hardest job I've EVER had. I loved being a mom to babies, but these big boys are running me out of my mind! I also work part-time for my sister as her Realtor's Assistant doing her admin/marketing work. We live in the same neighborhood, so I can either work from home or a few blocks away and she always understands when I have to take care of my boys. Not much, but it helps to pays for my home decorating addiction...

In my "former life", I was a corporate manager at an international brokerage firm. Quite a change, there, huh? My husband is an Engineer at a large Engineering and Construction company catering to the oil & gas industry. Heathergurl do you perhaps work for the "Blue Pony"? My husband says that designers can pretty much write their own ticket these days in this booming market and make even more than he does as a project manager. Lucky gurl!

Cool thread.

My other job is LOOSING WEIGHT - I am obsessed with it. I watch what I eat, and I exercise daily. I am trying to squeeze a little time in to tan, as my husband thinks I am as white as a sheet of paper. :) :)

      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.
