Life in the real world...

  Believe it or not, I'm the Director of Housekeeping at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital. Best place to work and the best place to have bariatric surgery. Our motto: "We Make It Shine".

Well, you'll be happy to know, Mr. Director, that your staff is living up to that motto.  IFOH is one of the cleanest hospitals I've ever been in & believe me, I've been in a few.  I bet you're excited to get back to work, eh?  I know I would be. I'll be back out there Aug 16th so I'll get the info desk to page ya so we can meet in person & I can collect my hug.  Hope these next couple of weeks fly by for ya.

How much are you walking, at work and off work? My exercise level REALLY make a difference as to how I maintain my loss. Can you walk and eat lunch?--somethings like string cheese, dried fruit and nuts, or yogurt. I give up eating at certain times to WALK, I have to. BUT, I teach, so it is easy for me to get protein drinks in or snack on high protein foods at my desk. Good luck--you WILL work it out. Lois

Right now I am still in my 8 week pureed food period. I'm only on my third week and not back at work yet. I presently walk a litte over a mile in the morning and the same in the evening. But I will have to do something different once I go back to work.
