I am a single mom with almost 3 year old twins (boy and girl). I work as a medical transcriptionist from home (for a nearby hospital--where my surgery will be!) at night when the kids are asleep. I get in 30-40 hours a week, depending on how it goes! :) I am so lucky I get to be with my kids all day and still able to support us! I am so thankful for that!

Wow, you guys have neat jobs!!!

Don't knock being a stay at home mom. If I had kids, I would quit the first day!!!

Nita, do you have a website of your work??

I work as a deejay for a radio station. I am also the Program director, music director, and any other hat that fits that day. It may sound like fun, but, pay sucks!!! I have been doing it now for 12 years and getting burned out. I would like to get into Website Design.

Denise,

I sure hope no one knocks being a stay at home mom(or dad). Between all the work I do I also do all the house work...inside and out. My wife works very hard and her hours are so off norm that it doens't give her the chance on weekdays to do the house cleaning and cooking. SO I do... and because of this I know for a fact it is the hardest of all jobs and the pays sucks big time. Only benifit is the satisfaction of caring for the needs of the family. Wife handles it all on weekends which gives me a break.

        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
