I'm a full time grad student working on my Masters of Music at the Manhattan School of Music because I am studying to be a professional opera singer! At school, I coordinate all the Special Events and party planning with the Office of Student Affairs, and I looking for a new Church job (singing on Sunday mornings)

Let me just say, I LOVE NYC...

I just graduated from my undergrad in Manhattan from Juilliard and it was the most fun ever! I am about to get my first apartment away from my parents and I am a full time mommy to 2 big parrots, fish, and a dwarf hamster.

For work, this summer I am interning with the government in my home state of maryland... and getting banded on July 5th.

I go back to NYC in late August... as a whole different person with a much healthier lifestyle.

I'm a full-time food service manager for the state Deaf school. I've worked in restuarants and bakeries-managing and cooking.

At the same time I'm in school full-time getting my degree in business management so as to get the hell out of the kitchen. I should still be working in food, but I hope on the manufacturing or selling end of things. Not in production where it gets served and stuffed into the mouths.

I'm also a single momma to a 4 year old little girl. Getting back to school is long over due-nothing like wanting to provide a better life for my child to motivate me!:lol:

My first job was as a coffee-boy and food server back in 1962 (between high school and college).

The next summer, I worked as a truck loader for the 7-Up soda company.

Then I dropped out of school and worked as an installer for the NY Telephone company.

I went back to school and dropped out again to be a Rock & Roll Band and Go-Go Girl manager for a few years. When many of the musicians of my 3 bands got drafted and "Topless" came out discouraging 6 or my 7 dancers, I went to work for a major airline as an Electronics mechanic which I stayed at for almost 35 years.

I also found time to load and drive fresh chicken trucks for three weeks between the Rock & Roll/Go-Go girl gig and the airline job.

I worked part time driving a delivery truck for about 7 years while working the airline job, spent some time working in a junk yard (auto scrap yard) cutting up vehicles, drove a taxi on week-ends for a while and then I had a business on the side fixing cars for airline cabin attendants for about 10 years while working for the airline.

After retiring from the aircraft machanics job in 2001 and moving to Florida in 2003, I worked for about 8 months for a major home-improvement retail chain.

That's about it.

      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.
