ok so i got a job MY 1st job and its at a fast food resteraunt ROY RODGERS, now i know i need to tell my manager about the diabetes and have a little bag full of things i might need like sugar and my monitor, and i know the dos and donts with diabetes but is there anything that i should do that will make my life easier with the band,

now i figured i should bring my own food just to be safe, incase i cant eat thier food, lol i havent eatten tier in 3 yrs, got a little nervous thinking wut if i start to get pb while working omg,

im kinda scard because i never had a job b4 the manager seems nice but a little hard to understand, O yahi start thursday (my birthday) wut great day to start right

Good luck with the job! Since it's your first, you'll always remember it!

We don't have that chain here in Houston, so I'm not sure what type of fast food they serve.. but, I recommed staying away from anything FRIED! It's not worth the extreme pain it's guaranteed to cause.

The only fast food I can eat these days is Taco Bell pintos and cheese, and a small nachos. But that will all change tomorrow, when I go in for my 5th fill.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Thursday :happybday: . Hope all goes well on your first day, and they don't make you clean restrooms! That would suck!

Congrats on your first job!!!! I remember mine!!!

The pay check will be nice!!! LOL

Congrats on the job Marissa. That is so exciting for you. My DD just got her first job last week and will get her first paycheck this Friday. It is terribly exciting to get that first paycheck and be able to have your own money.

:clap2: :happybday2: :cheer2:

Woo-hoo, congratulations on the job! As to the surgery, its up to you, Do You Want Everyone to Know? If so then cool, I told everyone I have seen that I am getting my surgey, today I get to tell them my date. But I work for my dad in his store and have for 8+ years, so everyone knows me.

thanks um i dont think i want to tell every one , i told one person close to me and she rubs it in my face every time she losses a pound or twoo she says i lost wieght without that band thingy, so i stoppped tell people, i have came to the conclusion that i am just going to keep it to myself ,

Good luck on the new job and Happy Bday!

I've had PBs on the job. I'm in a different setting though, to where it doesn't really matter if I'm away from my desk randomly for a while. Not sure how to best handle that one. Maybe explain the potential to your supervisor, and let them know that it may happen that you'll need to step away. If your PBs are anything like mine, toward the end you can't really work through them anyway... there comes a while when I'm doing good to be able to pace the bathroom.

Congratulations on the job and happy birthday. Roy Rogers is basically ALL fried food so I would advise NOT eating it at all. Bring your own food and that should keep you and the band happy. Good luck on the job!

Congrats on the job! I agree with the others, bring your own food. They usually don't give you much time to eat anyway. Since you're sharing the diabetes info. w/the manager...he'll understand your "special" eating.
