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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
