My background is in Administrative and Office Management...my husband was in the military and so I was always learning something new....But I must say, I have the best job right now with censoring the movies that come into our compound...always been a lover of movies and now I get to watch them all day...one draw-back...I have to watch films I wouldn't normally watch....but that's okay...I love the no pressure of this job...

My husband is a white collar crime investigator for Saudi Aramco...

Hi,

I presently own a franchise for Management Recruiters International. My website is www.thesciantgroup.com. Before I was a headhunter, I lived and worked in Europe in full scale production, live shows, concerts and casting for tv. And before that I worked in publishing for 12 years as a Marketing Director. I like to reinvent myself every 5 years or so.....

I am an RN. I work full time in obstetrics, 11pm to 7am, and I love my job! Nothing better than cuddling with a newborn and getting paid for it!

I just recently went back to work after taking 2 years to be a SAHM to my 4-year old and almost 2-year-old twins. Now I am a social worker working with families who have had their children removed by Protective Services. The job is ok (actually I like it more than I originally thought I would) but the people that I work with are AWESOME! I love going to work! Before babies, I was the Director of a Sexual Assault Program north of Austin. I liked that job too, but it was too much with a special-needs infant (now my 4-year-old handfull). My husband is a police officer, works 11p-7a.

      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.
