It looks great!!

See my problem is the opposite. I have ALWAYS had short hair (My dad refused to let me cut my hair so when I hit 18 it went from waist to ears in one snip!!)

Now its between my shoulders and bra strap. I am hating it but I promised the hubby I would give growing it out a go. So I am. It has long layers in it so it doesn't sit so heavy on my neck but it still doesn't help. I want to cut it off so bad I hate long hair on me.

If you are going to get more than 10" cut from your hair, consider donating it to locks of love, or the panteen program. (they make wigs for cancer patients) It might help you feel better about your new style if you know that you have helped somene else.

I love shorter hair .. wash dry and go .... long hair is a pain in the ass to deal with takes for ever to dry and get looking good so its not all frizzy and stuff.

Yeah I have curly hair its a PITA .. I have to spend an hour drying and straightening it. No thankee spankee .. the fact I am doing this for my hubby is the ONLY reason I have not cut it.

I am the opposite of all you other long, naturally curly haired people. I had my hair short a few years ago after having it long for a while and found it much more toublesome short than long. With it long, I wash, put in anti-frizz stuff, let it air dry while I put on my make up and do the rest of my morning routine, then add a little finishing gel and go. With it short, I had to put in straightener, blow dry the curl out, spray and style. The whole routine added a good 30 minutes to my morning! So, I let it grow again after about 6 months of this.

When I decided to go short, I worked with my hairdresser and did it in stages as was suggested. I do think it would have freaked me out to go from mid back to ear length at one time. That's a lot of hair!!!

      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.
