  1. Thank you! I noticed your beautiful hair cut when i searched "hair" . Put my mind at ease. PS:I cant imagine you ever being big!
  2. Dreamt last night that I was totally bald. Im expecting the hair loss and i can cope with it as long as i know it will grow back!! Thanks as always for your replies. x
  3. Best of Luck. Thinking on you and excited to hear how the rest goes, it will be me in 2 weeks! x
  4. Thanks everyone, thanks E, for the websites, one of them mentioned in the thread is actually the place i went to! I got it cut again yesterday, its a beautiful cut, no doubt, but i had to go a bit shorter to get rid of the awful mess that had been made. It will grow and grow in nicely because of the cut. Now to get sleeved, maybe I i will be able to go even shorter when i have a thin face! Thanks again for the sympathy, just needed some kind words to cheer me up! x
  5. Thanks girls for all your advice. I went back today and got my money back. The manager agreed it was poor cut, uneven, unflattering so no arguments. <BR><BR>Going some where else to see if they can salvage something tomorrow. I will also be telling everyone that i know to avoid the place!

  8. I know this is a really vain, selfish thing to be complaining about given whats goin on in Japan etc etc but i have just had an awful haircut. The hairdresser just chopped off all of my hair and recut my bangs which i have been growing out for sooooo long. My lovely long hair is gone and the cut just empasises my fat face. She didnt listen to a word i said and then best of all i was charged extra for the blow dry. I just feel so fat and ugly. The little confidence I had is now gone. Anyway sorry for moaning, im hoping i will feel better now that i have hammered it out on the keyboard.
  9. Not long now then! Hope you will keep us posted!
  10. I hid the scales away about a month ago. I was so depressed when i got on them so i just thought i would put them away for a while. Bad idea. I have put on almost 12 lbs and am now at my heaviest ever. I know since i booked surgery etc, i have been a bit out of control, pigging out but im sure hiding the scales away has not helped. Anyone have any thoughts? I am so glad it is only 3 weeks til i get sleeved, i am so unhappy being the way i am.
  11. I have been feeling really nervous about what i am going to do to my body and the seriousness of the whole situation. Last night, i thought about cancelling then today i looked at a photo taken for work and i was so disgusted. It has totally spurred me on again. I want to be able to look at a photo of myself without feeling shame. I have the photo in my bag and if i feel scared about the surgery at all, im gong to take it out and have a look. This time next year it will be a photo i am proud of!
  12. Would this be suitable for liquid stages, or is it too salty? Maybe just a weird idea but i like the taste!
  13. Clothes and confidence! I dont have any vavoom anymore and I am hoping being able to wear nice, trendy clothes will give me back some of it. Also to say yes to more social invitatiions because i often say no, worried about how fat I look and how people will be looking at me.
  14. Thankd everyone. Here in the UAE it is soooo hard to get good shakes etc. Slim fast is everywhere though! I will keep searching.
  15. It is allowed after or not?
  16. Hi all, Well i am 4 weeks today until surgery and the wierd/scary dreams have started. I always have pretty random, out there dreams but now they are all about the operation. Here is a selection: I get opened up then the doctor says there is something wrong with my stomach so no sleeve. I am left with huge scars. When i get to Mexico to hospital is actually just a motel room that looks filthy. Did this happen to anyone else? They are making me feel pretty nervous
  17. Im before on the 3rd but i will ba hanging about for longer. When will u get to TJ?
  18. Oh wow, i feel excited for you!! Sending love your way. Will be checking to see how it goes! It will be me in a months time! xxx
  19. Hey, If you go on to Obesity Help, there is a support group for middle east people. Cant find it at the min
  20. Hi Everyone, Just wondering, do you really need to have the upper GI three months after?
  21. Hi E, What protein shakes are you drinking that are so delicious? Ps: Dr Kelly is going to get me some of those Gas strips things so i wont need you to send them. Customs here are really strict and they would probably be opened etc.
  22. Aprill 3rd with dr kelly in Mexico, it cant come soon enough. my eating is out of contol at the moment, its as if because i know i am having the surgery for sure, i have just given up altogether. My tummy is just never full! I wish it was tomorrow!
