I teach marketing and general business courses to high school students. I am also the DECA advisor and I love it - if I couldn't teach marketing with DECA I would find a new career!

I am also a mom to two beautful children, 4 dogs and one horse. Oh yeah, and the wife of my best friend!

I am a 4th and 5th grade English teacher at a very rural impoverished school in East Tennessee. I love my job, and I love my school!

I will finish my Ed.S. degree in Administration and Supervision in three weeks, which will qualify me to be a principal or otherwise work in school administration, but I'm happy in the classroom for now. I went ahead with the degree now because the raise is great, and I wanted to get my last graduate degree before I have children. After my masters and this, I'm finished with research for life, so there will be no doctorate in my future!

So interesting to read, that is for sure!!

As for me, I work in the Law Dept. of a very large electronics company, and until 2 months ago I worked in the international trade field utilizing my Customs Broker License. I luckily avoided a layoff a few months ago and accepted another position in the Law Dept. as Legal Administration Manager managing the systems, accounting, and even the process that nearly laid me off before.. funny how that works! I'm very happy to be still at my company as I have been here for 21 years. :thumbup:

I am a Certified Rolfer. I just quit my job with the school system as a Special Education Case Manager and I am doing the Rolfing full time. That was the biggest risk I have ever taken and getting the lapband surgery will be the second one.

(Rolfing is a form of manual therapy that addresses soft tissue restrictions in the body that often creates opportunities for better posture, less muscle tension and greater ease and flexibility in the body.)

I am kind of worried because my work is very active, so I would love to hear from anyone who has a physically demanding job. I am taking two weeks off to recover from my surgery that is scheduled for 12 August.

      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.
