I am currently a stay at home mom and I have recently started a bakery business that is starting to take off. In my past life I was an Interior Designer for a large firm in Houston. When my son, who is now 4 going on 14, goes to school I will most likely go back to Design because that is where my heart is.

isn't it hard working in a bakery and not wanting to eat everything in sight???? Sounds like a wonderful job- with wonderful smells all day long.

So Drama Queen, I am currently looking for floor plans to build my dream home, will you be on board to help with the interior designing when we are done building??? Just keep in mind that I'll be broke and won't be able to afford you, LOL...Oh man, I couldn't work in a bakery, breads, cakes and donuts are my weakness...I would probably weight a ton is I ran a bakery, It would probably go broke from me eating all the goods...

So juju where does your screen name come from??? My three year old son's nickname is JuJu. That is so funny that your screen name is the same as his nickname. My four year old called him that cause she couldn't pronounce Jr. So now everyone calls him JuJu, even everyone at daycare.

      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.
