    crystal_clear got a reaction from Valentina in Work in healthcare - what to tell them?   
    I'm a nurse practitioner and I have been honest with anyone that asks. Mostly, because I want to show my coworkers and patients that weight loss surgery can be a life changer and shouldn't be something someone is ashamed of. You should never me ashamed of doing something to make you healthier. I talk to my patients everyday about living a healthy lifestyle and I occasionally run across patients that are seriously trying, but still struggle with weight loss. If diet and exercise alone are not working for them, I want them to know there are other options. If they ask about how I lost the weight, I want to always tell the truth. If a particular diet didn't work for them, I don't want them to give up working towards a healthier life, I want them to keep looking until they find what works for them, even if it isn't what worked for me. I don't want to lie to them, because, no, I couldn't do it alone, I needed help, and they may need that help too.

    crystal_clear got a reaction from Nurse_Lenora in Soft foods diet and travel...   
    I recently traveled and took nectar single serving pouches. It wasn't the best, but it worked. I would highly recommend taking a blender cup though, because trying to mix it with a spoon just doesn't work out.
