I am a Business Office Manager for a large Medical Practice in Memphis Tn. You know I think it is the fear of not being able to do this and every one saying things behind your back when you don't lose the weight fast enough or maybe the fear of people saying you have to go threw a surgery because you are to lazy to stop feeding you face.....

You guys will get a good laugh out of this. I am a Registered Dietitian. I work 20 hours a week in a hospital. I also invest in real estate with my husband. We have several rental properties that I manage.

People always want me to give them a diet when they find out what I do. I usually tell them that I can't even manage my own diet!! :)

I am a Secretary for a middle school principal...there are three assistant principals and one that oversees the entire building. I am secretary to one of the assistants. Last school year was my first year at the job. In 27 days I go back to work to begin my second year. I hope to retire from the school district someday.

Before that I worked as the Clerical Coordinator at the main office of a non-profit organization that serves people with developmentally disabled people. My boss drove me to have to see a therapist, so my new job was a God-send. I volunteered in the school district for 14 years, so I knew it would be a good fit.

Before that I owned my own home-based business typing for procrastinating college students (this was before everyone owned their own computer or lap top) and wrote resumes and cover letters and helped people with job search. This enabled me to stay at home with my son when he was younger.

Hi all, I am finishing my Master's in Industrial Organizational Psychology. I work at the college I attend as a Psychology, Math, Biology and Physics tutor. My "main" job is spending lots of hours studying! I have managed a 4.0 throughout my entire college career and I am determined to stay that way. It helps that I went back to school older! lol I attend the same college that both of my kids attend (it doesn't bother me, but they aren't doing back flips over it! LOL) I am getting banded so that I can get a job when I finish my education, without size discrimination!

      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.
