I am an Engineering Manager.

Labradoodle ~ You have a great job! I bet you have loads of fun. I've been noticing a lot of ads for the labradoodles lately and the "hybrid" breeds seem to be making a name for themselves. The Labradoodles go for around $1000 here in IN. It's kind of sad to think of all the people that breed for the profit instead of the love of the animals. We just adopted a Jack Russell today from the shelter and also own the BEST chocolate lab in the world. Hope you have a painless & quick recovery so you can get back to your furry friends. Best wishes!

Fascinating reading about the work everyone does. I was an elementary school teacher for 12 years teaching grades 1-6 (10-20 students depending on the year). Loved teaching but burned out and went back to school and got a Masters in Architecture and am now doing my internship, working for a wonderful employer. I will start taking licensing exams in about a year. Hopefully,:nervous

I'M a physician assistant, PA, 20+ years.

More often then not, I have to tell patients weight loss will cure their ills.

My job is to tell them the best of my medical knowlege, regardless of my own personal choices and habits.

It's always easier to dish it out....

I am a special education resource teacher. For the past 20 so years I have helping students with learning disabilities and behavioral problems. It is hard at time and my kids will tell you that they learned not to ask for money or a decision on anything important until after dinner...:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
