Sitting at the Ford dealer waiting for my truck so I'm using the time to go back through the thread. Amazing number of Healthcare related folks. So Psycologists, why?

I also found I posted mine twice

I truly think that as healthcare providers we are trained to always put others first. As a student nurse I had clinical instructors who actively advocated ALWAYS skipping your lunch break to spend more time with your patients.

It's nice but you also need time for yourself to eat and be healthy.

So we are always last on the list until one day we decide to make a change.

And let me also say it's common for Nurses to not have time to take a break due to very sick patients etc. what do we do? Eat the crummy Snacks we stock on the unit. Graham crackers, jell-o, juice etc....

Much like us, show up at the gate, 30 minute turn and look for something, anything to eat. McDonalds, Chipotle,...... some kind of fast food. Then we inhale it and sit in the seat for the next 3 hours get to the hotel knocked but up for bar food.

I will say that now that I am doing my liquid pre op diet it's easier!

I was just saying how much easier my mornings are because "packing a lunch" means grabbing Protein

shakes, broth and pre made high protein jell-o.

So not only is it easier to pack but I'm always prepared which is HUGE for me.

Hope you find it just as easy when you transition to pre op diet

I am also not beholden to the Hospital cafeteria to provide a decent meal. God knows that is always hit or miss!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
