Thanks neenagh :)

I spoke too soon. I tried on this sweater at Cotton Ginny (who suggested that? I finally gave them a chance!) yesterday, but we were in a hurry, so went back today. I grabbed ANOTHER pair of 18's, just to see if it was really true, and I liked them. Dan said if *I* bought the sweaters, he'd buy me the jeans. (but only if I got the medium (plus size), not the large like I wanted) Sooooo... I sucked it up, and bought the medium, even though I think it's too tight. I guess it'll loosen up eventually. So yeah, I finally got some size 18 jeans. I like them, and they look alot less foolish with my snazzy new shirts than my baggy-butt other ones!

Also got my hair cut. Last minutes decision, I decide I want bangs. I've NEVER had bangs, but I wanted them. I told the lady what I wanted, and it sounded like she understood... but kept saying how she'd 'frame my face'. Well anyways, I walked out VERY unhappy, with my hair curled (but only half, cause she said that looked good) all crazy, encrusted with SO much hair spray, and a little close to tears. I just can't tell people (hair dressers) that it's not exactly what I had in mind. I gotta get over that.

It's not bad, but they're not they type of 'bangs' I wanted. More like 'feathered' around my face. I wanted the 'brush a chunk of the hair at the front of your head, forward that covers your forehead' thing! This is the kind of bangs that are to the sides of your face.... like out-grown normal bangs. I'm almost tempted to try to cut them a little more like I wanted to... but that's scary.

Thats too bad you don't like your hair, but how spontaneous of you!!! The best way to get a haircut you like is to find a picture of the cut you want. Then you don't have to worry about the way your saying it and the way their hearing it. A good hairstylists will either do it exactly like that or tell you you don't have the right hair, no confusion. I know, I use to be a hairstylist, a bazillion years ago. I hated it!!! Women are to bitchy..lol. If I had to go back I'd be a barber, old geezers never complain!!

Size 18 Mandi, that's great Woohoo!!!!. I can't believe you were still wearing the 22s and bigger. It's a wonder that your pants haven't fallen down in public.

Whatever you do, DO NOT CUT YOUR OWN HAIR!!! Speaking from experience you could end up with something worse. Your hair sounds nice (framing your face) leave it alone.

I do know what you mean about being assertive with hair stylist, it's really hard to do. I've found that you need to find one you trust and stick with him/her.

CONGRATS on the size 18s Mandi! That is soooo awesome (how sweet of Dandi to get them for you, too!). Plus...you know he is right....you are prob used to wearing things baggy....so it is good you got the medium sweater! He wants you to show off you figure, and so you should! I've started doing this too....voluntarily (which is a switch, let me tell ya!).

Soon we'll be hearing how the 18s are fallin' off ya!!!! Keep it up!

Re. the haircut....go back!!! I know it is hard, but go back and tell them you aren't satisfied and would like it "fixed" to suit your desires. They want that....if you aren't satisfied, they want to make sure you are. So, go back (asap) and be nice about it and tell them there was merely some miscommunication and get what you want. There should be no charge. If they DO charge you....never go back there again!

I agree...don't cut it yourself. And for next time....do the pic thing as Cloe suggets...works for me all the time.

You are doing fab Mandi.....be proud of yourself!!!

:girl_hug: :clap2:

Hey, when do we get to call you the skinny bitch from down east??:eek:

LOL ... not yet! I'm not at skinny bitch status yet!

And ok, ok... I won't cut my own hair. I'm getting more 'ok' with it how she cut it. I can live with it for a while, until next time. I actually DID show her a picture of what I was thinking of, and she more or less said that "I know what you mean... I'll frame your face". 'cept, the picture was of a girl with fairly long, blunt, fully across the forehead bangs... I said I liked that... but more 'wispy'. Whatever. :D

So... good news on the Xmas front. My parents have graciously offered to buy my ticket for me for my birthday (next month).... AND, pay a good chunk of Dan's ticket cost for him to go home also (as a Xmas present to him). Soooo, now he's got to figure out how to get together the rest of the money, or I have to be nice, and help him with that cost also. Hmmmm...

Hope you guys are having a good weekend! Talk to ya later :girl_hug:

      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.
