I am an emergency room nurse. I work twelve hour shifts. I get up at 4am to work out before I go the work. I come home around 8:30-9pm. I try not to eat after 7 pm but that does not happen much. My husband works in radiology. Oh and in my spare time I am raising 3 year old twins :>

I'm from Sacramento! My family still lives there and my aunt is thinking about the lap band. I will tell her about Sacramento Bariatric Associates. Thanks for the reference! It's amazing what you learn by reading these threads.

I'm a freelance writer/editor. I have to be careful what I eat when I'm on deadline. The nervous energy in the room effects digestion. I keep it light for those few days...soups, fruit, the strawberry/banana drink at Jamba juice.< /p>

The mag I work comes out quarterly;so those light days are far between.

Before my car accident I was an elevator constructor. Since then I have been an elevator operator at construction sites bringing fellow tradesmen and there tools up and down. Hence my name goingup. Maybe someday after I loose some weight I may return to construction.

DA (Double Agent) with the Geek Squad (www.geeksquad.com , not advertising - but for those who don't know what it is I do, this might give you an idea).

Yes I drive around in one of those Geek Mobiles (Geek Squad VW bugs -- have you seen me around the DE, NJ, PA area? Have I come and done work for you???? lmao).

Love this new job, been doing PC work for almost 16 years, and can't get enough of it!!!!

Of course, having been an ex-sonarman onboard submarines (was attached to 3 differnt ones during my career) they tell me my insanity comes from the lack of sunshine and 'real' oxygen - truth be told, I was born nutty!!

I'll be a full time student in college, again in the fall. I took this semester off, due to moving in the middle of semester. So right now, I'm just a pretend housewife. :mad:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
