I teach marketing and general business courses to high school students. I am also the DECA advisor and I love it - if I couldn't teach marketing with DECA I would find a new career!

I am also a mom to two beautful children, 4 dogs and one horse. Oh yeah, and the wife of my best friend!

I am a 4th and 5th grade English teacher at a very rural impoverished school in East Tennessee. I love my job, and I love my school!

I will finish my Ed.S. degree in Administration and Supervision in three weeks, which will qualify me to be a principal or otherwise work in school administration, but I'm happy in the classroom for now. I went ahead with the degree now because the raise is great, and I wanted to get my last graduate degree before I have children. After my masters and this, I'm finished with research for life, so there will be no doctorate in my future!

So interesting to read, that is for sure!!

As for me, I work in the Law Dept. of a very large electronics company, and until 2 months ago I worked in the international trade field utilizing my Customs Broker License. I luckily avoided a layoff a few months ago and accepted another position in the Law Dept. as Legal Administration Manager managing the systems, accounting, and even the process that nearly laid me off before.. funny how that works! I'm very happy to be still at my company as I have been here for 21 years. :thumbup:

I am a Certified Rolfer. I just quit my job with the school system as a Special Education Case Manager and I am doing the Rolfing full time. That was the biggest risk I have ever taken and getting the lapband surgery will be the second one.

(Rolfing is a form of manual therapy that addresses soft tissue restrictions in the body that often creates opportunities for better posture, less muscle tension and greater ease and flexibility in the body.)

I am kind of worried because my work is very active, so I would love to hear from anyone who has a physically demanding job. I am taking two weeks off to recover from my surgery that is scheduled for 12 August.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
