I went on an interview after I had taken off 100 pounds. I bombed the interview because the weightloss was on my mind. All I could think of was sagging skin! OMG....... I left thinking how bad I did. At one point he asked me to tell him a little about myself and I was stumped ...... "uh, duh......." All that kept going through my mind was being banded and all that goes along with it. I should have told him about all my skills! I didn't say anything about my weightloss or the band, but couldn't get all out of my thoughts.

Try to keep the job in your mind and what you can bring to it. Keep your job skills on your mind. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to think about how you look.

Good luck to you. I hope you get the job. :)

I just had an interview and was concerned because my clothes were baggy. I interviewed for the same position in July and now I was back 33lbs lighter. Nobody said a thing (probably didnt even notice).

Best part is that I got the job and am moving back to California after 8yrs in TX.

Interview went well as well as interviews go that is...I had to fill out a comprehension evaluation on myself and one of the questions was something like what is one of the goals you are working on and what are you doing to achieve it...I put weight loss..Duh right!

Well we'll see if I did well if they call me for a second interview.

As far as my closet needless to say I got a long way to go before I fit into some of the nicer things but I was able to put on a nice pair of slacks that I havent worn in over 5 years so that's a plus!!! :D

I'm job hunting too! I told my mom I'm not buying an outfit until I get an interview because it won't fit by then! Haha. Nothing is more uncomfortable than interview outfits, so I'm glad to lose weight and find something that fits good and looks nice :)

Zen, here's hoping for a call-back!

Nan, I was a central valley-ite for a while. Sacramento and Red Bluff (by Redding). I loved it up there! My job brought me down here. Love it here, too. Home is where you make it.

Cocoa,

I am moving to Turlock. A small town in the Central Valley, near Modesto. I wish it was SD!

Nan! If you're looking for a doctor...try Dr. Coirin in Modesto. You're moving about 15 minutes away from the town. No...it's not San Diego...but...you're only an hour from BART (the rail system that goes throughout the Bay Area) and if you wanted to drive to San Francisco...it's an hour and a half with traffic.

Dr. Coirin did my surgery 1/10/11 and he was great. His office is just down Spanos behind Memorial Hospital off of McHenry Ave in Modesto. Welcome to the Valley! You'll be here just in time for summer!!

Thanks for the heads up about the Modesto doc. I lived in Modesto for about 20yrs, now going back. I am going to work at Emanuel Med Center in Turlock and they only have 1 doc on their plan. Dr Dao, so that is the person I have to use, or self pay.

I am sure he will be fine.

Also Zen, my fingers are crossed that you get the job!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
