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 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.

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.

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. :rolleyes:

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.

      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! 😞
