I hate it when people post just to post.....

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I lost probably 50% of my hair post banding, seriously! And I did all the Protein, the Vitamins, and ate a healthy diet, but lost it anyway.

I lost half mine too. I did everything possible to avoid it just like you Kat. Now I am afraid I am going to lose it again after my sleeve surgery. It's been 2 years since banding, and I still don't have it all back. I do have 6" pieces here and there. My hair is past my shoulders, so at 1/2 " a month, it's going to take awhile. I hope it had to do with weight loss because I don't expect to lose much with sleeve surgery.

I hope everyone won't mind me whining when I am on the post op diet. If you do, I will have to whine only to Susan, cause she will be on the same one!Does anyone have any good suggestions for the 10 days of clear beside Isopure? I don't think I can handle 10 days on that stuff. I have heard Syntrex is good.

Good morning all! Another Monday, another week.

I received voice mail messages regarding interviews: one phone interview this week for a position about 1500 miles away and even a little further north than I already am (:confused:), and an inperson interview hopefully for next week - it's a position I can work from home 50%/ 50% travel across the country. But until I get a new job, I guess I had better 'get to it' at this one....

Good Monday Morning All!!

Tap, my dream is to be able to sit at my computer and work out of my home. I would love 50/50, jump all over that!!

Denise, I am wondering the same thing, what to do when on clears only. We can definitely whine to each other. I start my pre-op liquid diet on the 26th of this month.

PJTP...

I had an awesome weekend - went out for a couple of walks with DDog in the sunshine. I didn't even mind that he was sniffing everything in sight and it took twice as long to cover the distance... :confused:

Went to see 'Watchmen' on Sunday with DH and DD - it's nice to sit holding hands in the theatre like teenagers, sharing popcorn...I <heart> my DH! DD says we are "gross" sometimes...Ha!

Feeling good - scale isn't moving much, but clothes are getting looser. My hair is growing nicely - hopefully it will match my avi soon! It's almost as long, not quite as curly, but the growing season is upon us (Spring, Summer) so I'm hopeful for lots of length by August!

Tap - good luck with the jobs - hopefully one of them will be the absolute dream match for ya!

Slim - stay strong, girlfriend...hold ya ground!

Beth - I think we should roll out to Slim's house forthwith!

SMS - plan yourself a wonderful treat with the extra $$$

Re Gray Hairs - I regularly dye the little critters into submission - they started coming in when I was in my late 30's, and I'm not ready to "look my age" whatever the heck THAT means...I'll keep dyeing them until I go home to Glory!

Have a terrific week, everyone...:eek:

* taps, i didn't think you could actually move further north?

* work - think my short time in going back is going to come to an end today. long talk w/DH last night; a lot of the reasons i left in the first place are creeping back up and it's not a financial benefit if certain other things suffer.

* fill - getting a much needed one today, again w/that attitude adjustment.:confused:

[*slim* 2]

luluc-good luck on your fill today. I am not sure how I feel about my fill. It was TOM when I got it, so now I have to see if the restriction will go away with it.

If the personal costs are out weighing the professional/financial, then I don't blame you for giving up the return to work. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Ebony/Beth, come on down! I could use the extra muscle to help me.

Hear that, Ebony? Time to have a coming to Jesus talk with that hubby of hers. Though the biotch in me wants to tackle that MIL of hers. Yes, literally tackle her. :crying:

thank slim - i had been eating like a pig lately and was afraid to get on the scale this AM ... only gained 2lbs...so not too bad.

ps - i think beth is serious:)

[BethFromVA 5]

ps - i think beth is serious:)

:ohmy:

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

I have a crappy MIL too. I get visions of her in my head when I hear of Slim's. It's just wishful thinking. :crying:

[tapshoes 2]

Tap - good luck with the jobs - hopefully one of them will be the absolute dream match for ya!

Thanks Ebony. Neither is the 'dream' job - you know, the one in which they pay you an obscene amount of money to do whatever you want with no staff, no responsibilities, no established work times, and no interactions with stupid/annoying people....

I'm almost at the point where I will soon be coming down the other side of the world!!!!:crying:

Good luck on the fill - and tell me, how expensive is an attitude adjustment? There's a mess of people I would willingly pay for to have one!

Though the biotch in me wants to tackle that MIL of hers. Yes, literally tackle her. :thumbup:

Can I watch? Can I, huh huh?

[BethFromVA 5]

Front 'n center. I'll even allow you a little kick to the shin while I have her down if you like.

DH actually gave me a "pep talk last night"... i have a bit of a wandering personality, i get bored easily, touch of adult ADD.. i struggle w/the the "whats next" thing, and i don't have a current answer so what have i done - eat more. not a good place & plan to discuss w/the good dr.

off my psych soap box....LOL

[*susan* 1,709]

Lulu, most definitely, if you don't have to work, and it is not bringing you happiness or anything else to your life, then definitely, leave. We only live once, lets make the best of it while we are here!

Beth, I have a few people that I would love to introduce you to (ex-hubby, ex-best friend that is now married to ex-hubby, Mrs. Steininga - third grade teacher that stuck her pointy nails in my arm and made me bleed because I accidentally pulled a leaf off her plant).

[*slim* 2]

Please do! It wouldn't take much with the legal drugs that she takes. One little shove and she would hit the floor.

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

I have a crappy MIL too. I get visions of her in my head when I hear of Slim's. It's just wishful thinking. :thumbup:

Sorry to hear that you have a crappy one too.

I know a few people (myself included) that could use a good attitude adjustment. Also, you will have to get in line behind me to watch Beth give the smackdown!:tt2:

If ya give me a running start, I bet I could knock the crappy MIL inta next week...just let me get my track shoes tied...

Can I watch? Can I, huh huh?

Sure - and sell tickets so when we go on the lam, no one will be able to find us! :ohmy:

Make a list, Susan - the Divas Unleashed Numbskull Intimidation Team - D-Unit - is just about ready to go...we'll be planning our Spring road trip shortly...:thumbup:

Beth - ya ready?
