Just read about your series of job interviews & concern that it may be too stressful. As a cautionary tale, I got divorced & needed a better income to support myself & 2 kids. I moved across country for a $80k salary increase eventually; initially a $20k increase. I didn't realize that I put myself on an extremely stressful career track leading to a complete nervous breakdown in 2001; I'm still recovering. I'm not able to work to this day. I gained over 80 lbs during that time. I'm not saying this will be your experience but take some time to think it over; research if you can. Maybe find out what happened to the predecessor. I thoroughly enjoyed my job & its challenges till I reached a level equal to director for Charles Schwab. The last year did me in. I could have avoided that last $30 raise & saved my health. Just be careful hon. In days of high unemployment, companies try to get the most from their employees. Be careful even if the job is fun.

Hey NR,
Read your post.... how are you doing? I am thinking about you and sending good wishes your way right now.
I would be hesitant to go into another mortgage right now; it would scare the crap out of me. You have had many successes...maybe hubby is feeling scared?
It is very unsettling.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts and getting to know you through what you write. Hang in there, ok? Janet

Hi nurserock
How do you handle the ping pong sensation in your throat. I had a Dr visit today snd discussed the same thing. She now wants to run tests but I feel fine with that exception

Do you mind emailing me. AMOE70@gmail.com. I would truly appreciate it. I'm 8 weeks post op and would have never imagined things to be like this.

I can't eat enough and only get about 25 g of protein a day. Sometimes not even that much.

If you wouldn't mind sharing your experience and helpful hints.

Love the new pic!!!!
Any news on the job offer?

Yeah I was in a bad mood this morning, woke up on the wrong side of the bed apparently. LOL
All better now.

Hope you get some good news about the job tomorrow!!!

How was your weekend? Hope it was a good one miss skinny minnie!

OMG, it was 100 pounds lost this am.........I had been working out so hard, but not watching my diet as closely. So, tons of protein and low fat/carbs put me over the edge. I've also notice that my periods are now causing me to bloat more than usual (TMI probably), even as much as 5 pounds. Maybe I was so heavy before I didn't know as I never weighed myself. You look, beautiful Nell- don't you worry about catching me, you're right there. I just walked the dogs and I actually thought about you---"Leslee, you should be ashamed, Nell is probably sweating her ass off at bootcamp right now and you're putzing around with the mutts!" Have a good day, stay out of the way of those tornadoes!!

Way to go Leslee, you finally broke out of those 180's!! So happy for you and hopefully I'll be right behind you before long!

YES! Finally got it this morning, the last email I got from them they were blaming it on FedEx, it didn't even come from FedEx it came in the regular mail!! LOL Anyway I've got it synced but since I'm not moving about much I don't think I'll use it just yet, it will show what a slug I'm being right now. ha ha! Although tomorrow when my DH goes to the gym I'm going to go with him and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes, so I'll be sure to put it on before I go.

OMG Leslee you are gonna be in the 170's before you know it!! I'm so excited for you!! I'm feeling ok, just so bloated and feel the need to pass gas that wont come out. I'm sure when it does it will be a dozy!! LOL
