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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
