Morning everyone!

Shaved head requires good shaped skull....I don't have one, so it ain't gonna happen (medical circumstance aside).

Long hair - used to have it, have been brushcut short and waist-long with everything in-between. I (like Kat) prefer wash and go so short it is.

Now off to the Y.

Hey Michele, welcome to LBT and the PJTP thread!!!

OMG, SUSAN, THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!! WOOT!! :thumbdown:
I've always wanted to shave my head but I'm not brave enough.
Well as has been said, it takes a nice looking head to look nice bald!

I have proof that someone, somewhere in time dropped me on my head, I have a flat spot!!! Seriously! just behind where my part ends, there is a flat spot.....never noticed it, until I was bald!

Now bald with a nice healthy glowing skintone, and some smoky eye make up, with nicely groomed brows and masacara'd eyelashes might present a different picture than that of my sickly green tinted skin and no brows or lashes!!!!!!

Friggin' chemo was not a sexy look!!!

Nope, I like my hair simple. #1 I like just having hair. #2 I do not want to spend much time working with it, I prefer a wash & go.

Mine is long, say mid back---between my shoulders and bra strap. Layered a lot because with my natural curl, it works! I occasionally will use a curling Iron on my bangs and floof them out a bit---otherwise, it is wash, mouse, and go! Slap on some tinted sunscreen, mascara and head out! I used to take more time, do more make up, and worry about my hair....getting lazy in my old age!

Kat

I have no desire to go bald, nope, definitely not for me!! I would love to be able to wash and go. I used to keep perms in my hair so I could wash it and go curly. But, they really dried out my hair so I haven't done that since about 2001. I have incredibly thick hair, so it takes me forever to dry it, which I find terribly annoying. But, not annoying enough to shave it off.

morning all...

there have been many hot texas days where i have wanted to shave my head - but i just don't have the stones. susan, i have a mop of thick hair as well; always have to get it thinned out when i get a cut because it's SO much. i have been enjoying the short do for a while now.

i have found the best TOOL ever = croc flat Iron, it works on towel dried hair and i'm done in 2-3 minutes. HATE spending too much time; and not a fan of make up either....sunscreen/masacra/cherry chapstick & GO.

ljm - glad the bed rest is doing what it needs to. are they keeping you till you deliver?

ok - more coffee needed.....it's a monday.

Omg. How is the world could someone physically do that. I would imagine it would take alot of effort to get back to that point after BP.

I think it'd take me every meal for a week to eat a foot long sub these days! LOL!

2 weeks for me and that's without the bread... JEEZ

I have thick and for the most part straight hair too. I like the croc as well.

The makeup though I couldn't live without. I would feel sorry for whoever had to see me without it :wub:

OH's Rants & Raves is a vast wasteland IMO and not worth the effort to even skim for interesting discussions.

There is a thread on LBT where WasABubbleButt would copy and paste some of the grossest things from OH. It almost made me pass out reading them.

Susan - YAY on the 7 lb weight loss! I'm thinking of the 5 day pouch test myself. I've done it twice before but only lost an average of 3 lbs each time.

I know, I know -- learn to multi-quote...

Excellent, LJM!

How is DH coping at home with DD?

ehh... he's 'coping'... he knows i really dont want to / cant hear a bunch of the negative stuff cause it affects me negatively right now... i know my mom's club is helping out an ENORMOUS amount - taking her pretty much every day this week for at least a couple hours... and they are bringing him dinner tonight...

but - he does have A TON of stuff to do... lots of stuff we planned on doing in January to prepare for DS... so he's busy no matter where he is..

ljm - glad the bed rest is doing what it needs to. are they keeping you till you deliver?

ok - more coffee needed.....it's a monday.

yup, here til i deliver - doc said yesterday it could be next week... hopefully not ... im hoping for the middle of the week after next... just keep him baking a tad longer... but of course, it all depends on my BP - which is great here ... first reading today 138/56...

i agree ... but i need to START the coffee... i need to find a bribable intern to run to 'bux!! :thumbdown:

LJM-I'm glad the bed rest is working.

I would love to shave my head. I don't have the b*lls to do it. My DH would shoot me on sight if I did.

I had a hard time eating a footlong sub before banding, I can't imagine doing it now. There is a new show called Diet Tribe or something like that. One of the women on the "diet" is a previous bypass patient who now weighs almost 300. I can't imagine going through that surgery to gain that much weight. I'm just saying...

      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.
