Sounds like you need to "work" at home tomorrow.

Tell me about it!!!

That's what I'm doing. I'm getting my hair cut and re-pinked in the afternoon. Shh, don't tell anyone.

You have pink hair? That is SO not what I envisioned, Miz Mac!!!

Really? It's not totally pink. I just have pink highlights.

I think they go good with my grey -- which was coming in strong at the temples but not so strong everywhere else. The pink makes it look streaky everywhere but without the fake blonde streaks that scream "I'm trying to hide my gray".

Um, can you tell I've thought about this way too much? :biggrin:

Ha - just a teensy bit! Lord I wish you could explain the whole coloring business to my boss. It's a hot mess!

I actually stopped doing it because after a while the pink highlights made my hair look red or even orange. So I grew them out. But I'm ready to do it again.

But it will grow back.

That's my hair philosophy... it's just hair -- it grows back.

Hey, maybe I can do the blue at the 2 month mark and then at the 3 month mark when it starts to fall out, that will help me transition back to pink! Now why didn't I think of that?!

Well if they don't look fake, then it's fine. But on some women they look fake.

The pink is very obviously fake so that's why it works for me. :biggrin:

I feel so fortunate when I come across a thread that has some of my favorite lap-band role models involved in it!! The rants about having to really work at this whole endeavor (and that includes exercise) just serve to keep me motivated. I have to admit that sometimes I allow my days to get so full that I let exercise get pushed out of the whole equation but each time I walk by my treadmill or eliptical, I feel like I just want to abandon everything and jump on one of them......... I guess when your body starts to crave it, its a good thing. Whenever I go without exercise, my weight loss is so much slower. I wholeheartedly believe in "muscle memory" and find that my body responds so well to this exercise and reminds me of my younger days when I was much more fit and trim. I am working my way back there and hope that by the time my next b-day (2/22) rolls around, I will have given myself a 100+ pound loss as the ultimate gift. My doctor thinks if I keep going at the pace I am moving, it might before then!! I have no quarrel with that!!

Thanks for all the encouragement, insight, and input!!

      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.
