There are quite a few teachers on here. :-) When does your summer vacation start. Mine starts today at 3:15!! I can't wait. What do you teach and when does your vacation start?

I teach special needs preschoolers. I love it. I started teaching them half way through my banding process, and some of my higher functioning ones noticed my weight loss, even at 4 years old. My kids I taught last year (kindergartners) say WOW, you look so pretty now! It's amazing what all children notice.

Oh how cute! I work with special needs kids too...High school level. None of them have commented on my weight loss. I think they think its just because of the surgery I just had...didn't tell em what for...just told em not to worry I will be back. No one has really asked anything. Just a lot of welcome backs! Our summer vacation doesn't start until JUNE 20-SOMETHING...Iey iey iey..Im not thinking about it, it will just be here soon! Regents testing starts in a few weeks!! I am not a teacher per say...but I am a one on one aide to a student with a disablity. Its an awesome job. I help him all the way...and he graduates this year !! I can't wait. Im proud of him! Proud of all our kids!

Okay....have a great day...enjoy your summer!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was my daughter's Kindergarten graduation, and today is her last (1/2 day) of school. As a teary-eyed sentimental mom, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all you teachers. You are awesome, and your skills for loving, caring, and nurturing the little minds of your students are so appreciated, even on the bad days when you patience is thin. You have an awesome job and responsibility, and I am so grateful for you!!!! Thanks!

I teach at a year around school. No summer vacation for me! I work at a preschool where we mainstream special needs children in with children of the same age. In a school of 150 children there are about 50 with different kinds of special needs. I love my job and my weight loss will help me keep up with MY little ones! :)

      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.
