  1. I like the lighter color against your skin tone! Length is cute too!
  2. HAhha sister wife length.. you're funny! I've been a hairstylist for 13 yrs and no one has ever broken my or other coworker's chairs... even the woman who has got to be 450 lbs ( she can't stand long enough to pay the front). I've heard the pop when a skinny co worker sat it in- it's a hydraulic malfunction or some other part. I promise that stylist felt just as bad for you as you did yourself sweetie, Try another salon..a fresh start might be nice, unless you love that stylist! Gl and post the new 'do!!
  3. Hello everyone, quick story about me before the question! My husb and I are ttc #2 so i went off the pill around feb 25 or so. We had no prob getting pg with #1, although we weren't tracking or anything like that. We conceived her on about the 5th day of my period- yea I know this cause I was not at all happy with him or where we were living so sex was a verrryyy rare occurrence! So usually every month (seriously every one) I can feel what I always thought was O pain, and doing some research didn't think it was cysts cause ppl were saying they are really really painful (aside from rupturing pain) well mine are not at all debilitating or anything just pronounced. I was diagnosed with pcos many yrs ago- but never had ultrasound to see cysts) Ok, so we tried on all the days I felt the o pain (and the 5th day of period). I also bought opks and haven't gotten a positive ( i prob started too late in the cycle) I even got a neg yesterday when I felt the ovary "pains". O and took a pg test-neg. So for the passed few days, all I've been feeling is the intermittent pinching and pulling and stuff, just annoying and sometimes stabbing. Are these just cysts on a rampage?? Maybe pg but tested too early and these pains are stretching pains?? Sorry for the length
  4. I meant i cant eat the pineapple, pizza crust either
  5. omg I can't eat those either! Sometimes i think I'm too tight, cause i have trouble eating while sitting or in the car and in the morning until about 2 1/2 hrs after I've woken up
  6. I wanted to see what foods everyone can not eat after green zone? I have so much trouble with a lot of food! My list is: pancakes, bananas ( no idea why- I chew those suckers with a vengeance), peanut butter( sometimes), stuffing, and fruit skins unless it's just about pulverized....I'll keep thinking....meanwhile tell me yours!
  7. Update!!!, so had a myriad of blood work done and everything looked normal....so now what!!???? Side note,I go from being normal body temperature, but about 5/10 min after a sit down,I get really cold..not sure if that means anything
  8. Not taking vitamins, I just took another wellbutrin (anti depressant) and I feel better, I'll call the Dr tmrw tho
  9. Thanks everybody, I've had blood work done about 6 mths or less ago for my gyn, everything was fine, maybe I should go back to my pcp, ugh was trying to avoid that lol
  10. For the past wk and a half (maybe more) I've been feeling weakness in my muscles (mainly upper arms and thighs) and fatigue. Sort of like not having enough sleep for weeks, even though i get plenty. Could this be not enough protein? I haven't changed anything and now have more protein shakes. It could be not having enough of my new anti depressant (i have been weaning off one and starting another). The dr doesn't seem to be concerned with anemia or anything. Anyone else ever experience this?? Ps, this is how i felt right after surgery and 2 wks later- i woke up and felt great (i guess it was my body finally getting used to the lower calorie intake. Help! This feeling sucks so bad
  11. Wow! YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait till im there!! Congrats on your journey!!! :D
  12. thanks guys! I have also been feeling so weak and lethargic lately, not sure if it's not enough protein or something else (might mean I have to increase my anti-depressant).
  13. Yea, I've been that tight and got unfilled too, I'm actually starting to get really frustrated with this band for the first time, every time I go to a restaurant I end up running to the bathroom at least once. I feel like I'll never get the right amt of restriction.
  14. So I'm thinking I'm a bit too tight..I can't sit and eat- I have to stand and/or walk around no matter how slow i eat, and in the car, it's even hard to drink anything but small sips of liquids, like it would be painful to take a pre-band sized gulp ( not a huge gulp). Does anyone else have this issue?
  15. Hot stuff!! SO jealous It doesn't even look like you have loose skin!
  16. I usually am pretty hungry, but too tight to eat anything- usually by 11-1130 I can eat. Do you feel like nauseous? That's probably cause you're really hungry, try drinking something-along with your coffee if you drink it. Or try a protein shake/ greek yogurt- it's "liquid" but will help with the hunger.
  17. How much will it absorb in one sitting?
  18. Thanks everyone, I think I'll break it up during the day and snack on half off protein bars.
  19. How does everyone get enough protein during the day? I find it hard to eat enough protein while getting in some carbs (otherwise I have no energy) I don't eat meat but do eat seafood
  20. Aww you poor girl, glad you could get some relief! How does the bypass feel compared to the band??
  21. Hey me too! I tried to start something on another forum but glad I found someone else who eats the same as me! I found great recipes at allrecipes.com...sometimes i make my own sauces to go with tilapia or salmon...one I made was with non fat plain greek yog, capers,lemon juice, little bit of sugar..it was awesome!
