hi all! i got my hair whacked off! 11 inches! i donated to locks of love.

i love my new hair cut it was donated by a trendy hair salon in nashville. in talking with the hairdresser about weight loss i got really irritated with her when she (super skinny like maybe a size 4) commented that while people can be predispostioned to be overweight it is a personnal chioce to be overweight!! it is calories taken in and what you burn. she runs 20 miles a week to be able to eat what she wants, and she has never had a weight problem.

well if she had dealt with a weight problem i might have taken what she said to heart!

Thanks for the haircut though! i'll post a pic tommorrow!

great cut Michelle, really suits you - you have such gorgeous hair and eyes! It's so funny we're all off to the salon these days, just had about 4 inches off mine too - hadn't had it cut in about two years! i've attached a photo - (can u tell I'm having such fun with my new digital camera - hope this one doesn't come out huge! Donali told me to resize it but neglected to tell me how!)

Hey Jennye, post some photo's of yours - dying to see your new hair and the weight loss!

take care xx

Bright,

You look great too! I can really tell your loss in your face...plus your new do brings out your cheek bones!

I'm I the only loser that doesn't own a digital camera?

My best friend is home for the holidays from Atlanta so I'm going to take some pics this week. When I get them developed you all will have to help me post.

Well I'm off to work!

Oh, crud! Can someone download this and repost it in jpg or gif for all of us bmp deprived? I'd love to see the new Shelly.

I think a haircut is often part of discovering who the person who has been hiding really is. I've noticed the haircut as an ongoing theme in wls patients. Do you suppose that "underneath all that hair" is just one more place to hide? (Of course, I'm from the generation BEFORE the long-straight-hair thing hit mainstream, so I also think it may be a function of age...but I'm just wondering.)

Thanks!!!!!

Jennye- i cant wait to see your pic too! i love the curls!!!

Bright- i love your new hair do! i love the digital camera too. i borrow one from my work and LOVE IT!!!!

Sue- every time i have lost i get my hair whacked off and as i gain i tend to let it grow.... i think this also stems from not wanting or liking to 'fix' my hair and being gun shy when it comes to hairdressers i have had a truly bad cut before. so i enjoy it short and while its growing into long then i only have to get a couple trims.

vera- i do feel lighter! my head feels bouncy. i have to make a conscious effort not to use a GLOB of shampoo!!!

Donali- thanks for reposting the pic. can you grant anymore wishes????lol!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
