Hi guys. I asked the moderators if they could open a whole section for college students, and they said I needed to just start a thread. I have lots of friends on the twenties boards, but many people are married and blessed with children!

Anyone out there in school with no kids? Thought we could gather here and share tips for on-the-go eating, crazy schedules, studying, eating on campus, drinking alcohol and just banded life in general while in college!

My name is Lisa and I'm 22. I am in a Junior and I go to college in downtown Denver fulltime. I am minoring in Spanish and majoring in Technical Communications Television Proudction and I love it! I take the train into school twice a week.

I was banded 10 days ago and haven't weighed myself yet. I decided to wait to see if I had lost any weight until my first post-op appointment, so that I could keep my mind focused on healing.

Anyone out there? :biggrin:

I have my Bachelors in Criminal Justice from Indiana University and am back at University of Cincinnati working on an Associates in Forensics, as well as working full time for the Courts in Kentucky so I understand about the meal issues, I am still working on it and I had my band done 10/23/08

im also a college student and full time mom and work full time lol

School is tricky. I would just eat a lot of trail mix. hahaha It doesn't need to be cold and for the most part it doesn't melt and it has an ok amount of protein. It also has a lot of sugar but oh well it was the best I could think of. hahaha I'm lucky that my school has a nice cafeteria with some really healthy options.

Hi, I am a junior at UHD in Houston, TX majoring in Finance and minoring in Accounting. I am 29 (guess this is my last year in this thread) and am getting banded on Monday, Sept. 14. I must say that due to working full time and going to school full time my pre-op diet has been extremely easy!! Looking forward to see how everyone is progressing. Congrats to all.

I am 24 and a full-time student (but I also work full-time). I have been approved, but not banded yet. Excited to get to know the members in this group!

i'm married, no kids, in grad school...i sure need tips on how to survive and eat right, work full time and go to grad school full time (4 classes this semester)..just saying hi to those like me.

I am 25 and still working on my bachelor's at GVSU in Michigan, and it is definately hard to find healthy things to eat on campus, but I do my best. And it is hard to exactly know how healthy it is, etc. But I try. It definately is harder than I thought, but I find it easier not to snack while I am at school. And harder at home at night to not snack.....
