I am a lawyer by day and taxi driver, housekeeper, counselor, dr. mom, etc. (but not a cook) after my "day job". I am a single (widow) mom to 4 kids ranging in age from 18 mos. to 16 years.

I love this thread -- it's so interesting to find out more about my new friends!

Hi! I'm an RN in a small town hospital so I get to work in Med-Surg, ER, ICU and the Nursery. I love it and to all those people in school for nursing or working towards a career in nursing - hang tough and you'll never regret the sacrifices! It's a wonderful job if you know what to expect.

The drug reps are definitely to blame in my case. Heck, at the place I work we get Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. There is CONSTANTLY food around and only a couple of the reps bring healthy food. I am nervous because I go back to work tomorrow for the first time since surgery and I have to make sure I do a good job packing foods that I can eat. But lizzilo you are right!

When I last posted here, I was a budget analyst for the state of North Dakota and teaching college clases. Now I am the Resident Budget Advisor to the Ministry of Finance for the Country of Malawi. I am a contracted employee (through the US Treasury and USAID).

This is (some days anyway) turning out to be my dream job. Celeste

      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? 🤷‍♀️
