I'm still hairy



Recommended Posts

It means the site would be so unpleasant as to make drinking milk impossible. (no, I never understood that particular expression, either).

Hope that's cleared things up... Personally, I'm more confused than ever.

Personally, I'm not a milk drinker, so post pictures :rolleyes:

I could post a naked picture, but I guarantee it would put you off your milk(!)

I think you should let *us* be the judge of that.....picture please! I'll get my spectacles on and await your response.

Okay, well you did ask for it... Make sure you're not in close proximity with your milk.

As you can clearly see, there's no shaving, yet you can definately see the scars (I was banded 8/23).

I actually took this shot at my desk at work... There boss came in just as I buttoned-up my shirt - Phew! Just in time!

YaYYY - you're a brave man :rolleyes:

Almost makes me wish I had a hairy tummy to cover my scars lol, but I'm thinking that would make my post banding goal of looking good in a bikini a moot point heh...

Wow....they really didn't shave you......how did they get in there? Did they take a comb and part the hair and then make the incision? Is this a new wonder of modern medicine? And the question of the day is....how *jealous* is bobalooey that you got to keep your hair?

edit: Wait..one more question...did they put tape on your incisions...because I can't IMAGINE pulling that off. Hopefully you had glue like I did because...well...ow!

After I had my surgery I too was surprised that I did not get shaved as well. I think it comes down to doctor preference. I too am pretty hairy, though not as gifted as you..lol.

In response to your question, yes, they did tape it up, and yes, it was a tad sore when said tape was removed.

It's quite good scar camoflage, mind... I think I may have it permed, possibly dreadlocked.

Gee, I was expecting some thing really bad, sort of like Robin William... Just because the media says you have to be a eunuch and wax your chest doesnt' mean you actually have to do that...

Yeah - but if he tries to take THAT picture at the office, he will be arrested, for sure.

Don't you fret, Pianoman. Your hair is not overwhelming - it just provides lovely camo for the scars.

:]

Hey I am up for the naked man photo!! LOL!! Bring it on!!!

I've heard about you American women - You're so forward.

Frankly, as a repressed Brit, it scares me witless! I expect at least a three-hour conversation about the weather before anyone mentions nudity.

And, just before you stop me mid-rant... Male nakedness is just unnatural... Female nakedness on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable (i've got this wierd thing about scars on women too... I'm kinda sure I picked the right website).

Well, the sun is shining, the hurricane is coming and naked pictures would be appreciated.

Yeah, we're animals.

Unless the hurricane detours to the UK and blows my clothes away, it ain't gonna happen, ReneBean!

      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.
