hi all! i got my hair whacked off! 11 inches! i donated to locks of love.

i love my new hair cut it was donated by a trendy hair salon in nashville. in talking with the hairdresser about weight loss i got really irritated with her when she (super skinny like maybe a size 4) commented that while people can be predispostioned to be overweight it is a personnal chioce to be overweight!! it is calories taken in and what you burn. she runs 20 miles a week to be able to eat what she wants, and she has never had a weight problem.

well if she had dealt with a weight problem i might have taken what she said to heart!

Thanks for the haircut though! i'll post a pic tommorrow!

great cut Michelle, really suits you - you have such gorgeous hair and eyes! It's so funny we're all off to the salon these days, just had about 4 inches off mine too - hadn't had it cut in about two years! i've attached a photo - (can u tell I'm having such fun with my new digital camera - hope this one doesn't come out huge! Donali told me to resize it but neglected to tell me how!)

Hey Jennye, post some photo's of yours - dying to see your new hair and the weight loss!

take care xx

Bright,

You look great too! I can really tell your loss in your face...plus your new do brings out your cheek bones!

I'm I the only loser that doesn't own a digital camera?

My best friend is home for the holidays from Atlanta so I'm going to take some pics this week. When I get them developed you all will have to help me post.

Well I'm off to work!

Oh, crud! Can someone download this and repost it in jpg or gif for all of us bmp deprived? I'd love to see the new Shelly.

I think a haircut is often part of discovering who the person who has been hiding really is. I've noticed the haircut as an ongoing theme in wls patients. Do you suppose that "underneath all that hair" is just one more place to hide? (Of course, I'm from the generation BEFORE the long-straight-hair thing hit mainstream, so I also think it may be a function of age...but I'm just wondering.)

Thanks!!!!!

Jennye- i cant wait to see your pic too! i love the curls!!!

Bright- i love your new hair do! i love the digital camera too. i borrow one from my work and LOVE IT!!!!

Sue- every time i have lost i get my hair whacked off and as i gain i tend to let it grow.... i think this also stems from not wanting or liking to 'fix' my hair and being gun shy when it comes to hairdressers i have had a truly bad cut before. so i enjoy it short and while its growing into long then i only have to get a couple trims.

vera- i do feel lighter! my head feels bouncy. i have to make a conscious effort not to use a GLOB of shampoo!!!

Donali- thanks for reposting the pic. can you grant anymore wishes????lol!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
