    So tomorrow (after you've slept, worked, cooked, cleaned, etc.) you can tell me how many kids you have and what kind of nursing you do. How's that?

    My students are 13 & 14. It's a tough age. I'd rather be with older students, but long story. Have a great day tomorrow!

    BTW...what time is it in the UK? I'm so old I'm immediately thinking bedtimes.

    I have a 15-year old daughter, and a 13-year old son. I'm 53 (yes, I was really old when I had them! haha). So no, it's just my husband and I and the 2 kids. But somehow eating differently than them made me feel...left out and pitiful. My husband is trying to help me. He's lost 30 pounds just cutting back and not keeping sweets in the house (a*****e!). I am a Middle School History teacher. How about yourself?

    I'm also feeling a lot better since I've been able to go outside and walk. I was too sore for the first week, but now that I'm going back out and walking it makes me feel more productive. It's really cold here right now, so it kind of sucks to walk outside, but it's pretty far outside my comfort zone to be walking out in the cold like that. So...I don't know, it feels like I'm doing something a little luxurious to be taking care of myself, and taking that time out for just me.

    You know, it really wasn't that bad. My belly is bruised pretty badly. Good thing I'm not wearing a bikini lol! My appointment is at the end of this month too. I've had a couple of tough days, too. Yesterday was really the first day I felt hungry a lot. I think it's more about eating 4-6 ounces, and then waiting awhile, and eating a small amount again. I think the hunger will get better after we have our first appointment. Now that I'm on soft foods, it's nice to be able to eat with my family again. I made chili soup today, and we're all having that. I didn't like it when I couldn't eat with them.

    I guess I'm looking for a buddy too. I'm in the US, but it really doesn't matter, does it? I was just kind of looking around, and saw your post. Your post felt a little like I feel right now...maybe a little alone and unsure of myself. I had my band surgery on November 2, 2017, so I'm just about 9 or 10 days post-op. I haven't had a fill (adjustment?) in it yet. Sometimes I feel like I could eat everything in sight and it wouldn't bother me. At other times, well...I just ate 1 oz. of soft cheese and I'm full. How are you doing? Your surgery is recent, isn't it?
