Count me in among the nursing crowd! I am a clinical educator in ICU / progressive care / acute care here in NC.

Betsy, I agree with your point. I have always taken better care of everyone in my life than I have of myself. Now, it's time to focus on my health!

Isn't it interesting how many of us have nursing backgrounds? My therapist has pointed out more than once that those of us who are caretakers often care for others at our own expense....I know that definitely factored into my own obesity.

I don't think it's just nurses...it's all the health care professions!

I'm a long-time med tech, who now supports the laboratory information system at a large university hospital. I'm from central Pennsylvania.

I'm from Cleveland, TN (still here). It's about 30 miles NE of Chattanooga. It's definitely growing!! I'm a student (even though I'm taking this semester off because I'm so burned out on school) and I own my own business, which is a ladies shoe boutique with handbags and jewelry too! I'm also a wife, and hopefully a mother one day!

I am from the Bay Area, California. I do accounting consulting and am currently working on my Masters in Accounting. I almost postponed my coursework because I was banded last Wednesday (9/22) but I am glad I didn't!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
