froggi, I'm wondering if your hormone levels are within a normal range. Depending on the amount of weight you have to lose, you may be experiencing some unusual Hair growth, among other issues, that will be resolved as your weight comes down. Anyway, that's just a thought. I know the doctor mentioned at the lap band seminar that some women who thought they had gone through menopause, had actually just had weight related menstrual issues, and found themselves fertile after weight loss. :)

I don't get chinny chin chin hairs yet, but I do get some a little under my chin. Also have to pluck the 'stache. I have the most embarrassing story to share:

Sometimes I have hairs that will reattach themselves other places (mainly my back). I had a massage last week and afterwards I went clothes shopping. I noticed that I had a 2 inch hair (dark too) coming out of my shoulder blade area. I'm sure that poor girl though I was some kind of beasty woman or sumthin...So embarrasing!:)

Froggi-

Have you ever talked to your GYN about being screened for PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)? It's very common when you're overweight, since estrogen is stored in fat. It can cause your hormones to get all whacked out.

One of the telltale signs is abnormal hair growth - esp. on your face.

I can't remember, but didn't you write about your periods being weird, too? That's another one of the hallmarks. I've had PCOS for a really long time (I had to do fertility treatments to get pregnant with both my kids because it caused me to stop ovulating all together), but since I've lost weight, my periods have become significantly more regular.

Oh, and it can also go hand in hand with insulin resistance. Which, actually, can make weight loss more difficult. If it turns out that you do have PCOS, your doctor might end up giving you a trial dosage of metformin. I know that when I tried it, I did lose some weight (it didn't do what they were trying to get it to do - fertility stuff - so I stopped taking it).

Here's a link about it.

Just a thought...

Oh heavens yes. It started with one hair that dark and longer then the rest. I started plucking it. After a while I would just pluck it while being on the computer something I regret now. Which lead to getting other hairs accidently and well over the last 15 years lets say now I have to shave or delapidate(sp?) almost as much hair as my BF does. LOL. I just don't get the 5 o'clock shadows. And I can go 2-3 days in between.

I've often thought of waxing but I know I couldnt do my upper lip I can't even tweese there. But I could the rest of my face. I sneeze alot when plucking my right eyebrows lol.

But my BF and I think that I should either start waxing or get one of those parafin wax things they now sell for joint pain. Not for the facial hair but the dang clogged pores & blackheads I seem to get horribly on my inner thighs & underside of my arms. cause normal washing/showering don't help and I can't get down in a bathtub to soak.

I do know the best masks I used to use ages ago had wax in them would litterly pull the crap out of my pores but you just can't find those anymore.

I freakin' hate these dark stiff hairs I get on my chin!!!! I am 22 why do I get these stupid things! I had them in highschool too. Whenever I see or FEEL one coming I PLUCK them right then and there. They are soooooooo annoying.:frown:

Please tell me I am not the only female with this problem:blushing:...especially considering I'm a blonde, why do I get these brownish/blackish stiff things.:confused2::biggrin:

Since, we've sort of ventured off topic to font size, I'll put in my two cents..lol I just copied and pasted your first post, froggi (that's the only one that came across incredibly small for me, and it's Garamond size 1. It's also a light gray color which, when tiny, makes it harder to see.

Now, here's my wish: I WISH IT WERE THAT EASY TO BECOME A SIZE ONE!! JUST HIT A BUTTON AND SWOOSH!! :thumbup:

      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.
