What's Up With All The Tipping?



Recommended Posts

I just don't bother with very good hair cuts. My hair is naturally curly, so it is difficult to cut and style and make it look like anything. I used to have it halfway down my back, but I took a class trip to the Everglades a couple of years ago and got it cut off right before I went. It's EXTREMELY short now. Right after the last time I got it cut, my brother joked that it was shorter than his hair (and it was). I'd let it grow out, but I just hate to take the time and effort that it would require to make it look halfway decent.

You two don't know how lucky you are. :) Thin, stringy, perfectly straight, mousey hair is the pits. At least you can fluff yours up, put it in a band and pretend like you planned it. I'm not thin enough for a comb over, but I'm afraid someday I will be. I had a good friend in Fla. who was that thin. She wasn't old or unhealthy so I don't know why it was so thin and fine, but she made me feel like I had a lot of hair. That's why I hung out with her...:heh: Not really. She was very cool. I have always noticed that people with curly want straight and people with straight want curly.

:faint:

You are right about wanting what you don't have. All my family are very curly and I am actually the least curly of the bunch. My mum wore her hair in something like an Afro for a number of years. What upset me was being a blondie. Both my parents and one of my brothers were brunettes and I happen to find brunettes most attractive. Unfortunately for me I am a total genetic recessive - a strawberry blondie with blue eyes. :( And I inherited the fatty gene. :angry It's a bluddy good thing that I inherited charm, intelligence, a good sense of humour, as well as money. :heh: :heh: :heh: :)

Don't get me wrong, I love my curly hair. (Well, now that it's short enough that it doesn't really tangle badly, I love it. When it was long, it was horrid.) I just wish I could get it to style. One of my old hairdressers tried to style it one day, in a popular style, and it looked absolutely HORRIBLE.

I deal with mine by using lots of product and never, ever brushing/combing it. I run my fingers through mine is all. Brushing/combing leads to it turning into a giant fuzz ball.

I comb mine when I first come out of the shower. Other than that, it doesn't happen.

      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.
