Kleigh you really shoulda been a comedian...loved that!

I'm currently a mother of an adopted son who just started K.

Previously, I was a Director of Corporate Communications for a Patient Satisfaction firm...and an advertising executive for 13 years.

I have to say while waiting to adopt I was a sub teacher and I loved it...could see doing that next year when son is in school full time and what excites me about it the most is how easy I would be able to get up and down off the floor with the kids...YOOOO HOOO

My husband and I are both part time independent business owners, we are part of a leadership team. Full-time my husband is in the U.S. Airforce. I sell the make-up line in our business.

http://dboyett.qbeautyzone.com/, if anyone needs make up or skin care check it out. The NAO line is awsome for those of us who like the dramatic look, with lots of shimmer and glitter. Think MAC but affordable.

Hi Everyone!

I've been taking classes to complete a certificate in Public and Non-Profit Management but haven't been real sure what I wanted to do with that. I am a partipant in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and keep thinking about how I want my career to matter and make some sort of difference.

The class I am in now deals with Policy decisions. So I've been researching that. I found an advocacy training thru the National Breast Cancer Coalition in Va next May that I want to attend and find a way to make a lving advocating for a cure. Now I just have to find a way in.....

      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.
