Any fellow school teachers out there? I'm beginning to get nervous about going back to work since it's taking me so long to eat a meal and we only have 30 min. to eat lunch. Also worried about keeping up with Water intake since it's pretty much impossible to go to restroom with a room full of first graders?

Surgery was 12/18--11 days post-op......Physically I think I will be fine to go back to work (we don't go back until 1/6) it's just the whole eating thing that's going to be hard. I was just telling my husband I'm going to have to get up an hour earlier just to have time to get my Breakfast down before work. LOL

I am a high school career counselor, so no classes, but we go back on 1/2 and have final exams (which I coordinate) shortly thereafter. I have no official lunch break, and usually have a line of students at my door during lunch. I am very nervous about getting all the liquids and food in. I think I will set alarms on my phone to help.

Tonight I was at my daughter school Christmas play, and all these moms had on tall boots, leggings and these precious long sweaters... and they looked perfectly put together... Next year... I wanna have legs that look good in leggings and boots!

Right there with ya! My Multivitamin and the Life Water I'm drinking are giving me enough B12, should I add a tablet? Maybe it's a lack of protein. I'm not at 60 grams/day yet. I'm around 40.

I'm in!

My goal is 145 I started pre-op diet at 244 on 12/12......current weight is 226 (18 lbs. lost)......I am 6 days post-op

After an initial denial this morning, I FINALLY got insurance approval this afternoon. Surgery date is next Wed., December 18th! I only have to do 5 days liquid diet with last day Clear Liquids. So relieved to FINALLY know that this is really going to happen.
