Back to school is upon us. May your new found energy, improved health, and generally feeling great translate into your classroom! (If you are newly post op that part will come shortly!) May your will power keep you away from the constant cupcake barrage and sugar filled staff rooms. May your new outlook shield you from the insane stress and absurd ways in which you are being evaluated. 

I know I am not privileged enough to work with you. But know I work with folks like you- and I appreciate you every single day. Have the best year of your career this year!

Thank you so much happyteacher! I'm looking forward to having so much more energy this year and I know those 30 pre-kers that will be looking me in the eyes tomorrow will appreciate this surgery as much as I have. I wish you, happyteacher, and all other teachers a GREAT school year.

Thanks, sweetie pie!  May what you just said be visited with increase and truth  upon your head this year.  Strange that, after almost 30 years teaching- and  so heavy for most all of them- that, now, having found health and energy, I will be retiring (Nov. 1st).  I could have given so much more if I had done this earlier ( I know...could'of-should'of-would'of..)  Blessings on your class this year!  bonnie

Nah... don't be regretful about being healthy now! I was a darn good teacher when I was supersized. Fat does not equal incompetent!  You go use all of that energy and have yourself an amazing retirement!  That was actually one of my motivations to get surgery done... so I would actually live long enough to retire and have enough health left to enjoy it! November 1st though... tough time to retire. What grade do you teach?

Have a great school year!!! Tomorrow's going to be so stressful for me work wise, on the other hand I agree I need to keep away from the teacher's lounge. There's always something bad in there.
