I think in the states you guys don't have the 'variety' of (potato) chips that we have here. That's what ketchup chips are, ketchup flavoured potato chips.

No ketchup chips in the states??? Hmm, I guess I've never looked for them when I've been there.

So I go for a Haircut on Thursday. Hoping my Hairdresser can give me a cut so you don't notice the bald to much. I've started washing my hair only every other day. I don't like seeing the mountains of hair falling off my head on my brush or in the shower. I see lots of baby hairs coming in, I hope that that is a good sign. My scale started moving again so I'm not to frazzeled right now. If I'm gonna be bald, at least let the weight go down. But not bald with a stuck scale, thats to hard to bear!!

Cancelled my fill on Friday. My husband asked me to wait a little longer. He keeps telling me it's not a race, and that I'm too impatient(like I didnt know that). But alas, he is right, scale is moving again. LORD, GIVE ME PATIENCE!!! I've had a little heartburn again, not too much, but I think I should keep that in check before getting another fill.:) :) :)

Let us know how the haircut goes Carey.

BTW, your hubby is most likey correct! I'm glad you cancelled the fill. You sooo don't want to be uncomfortable! That isn't the point of all of this! You are doing soooo fabulous and I believe you are averaging more than 1 lb per week (as an overall average)...so you really are in the zone...and as long as it IS happening, don't fret about the speed of it. I truly believe you will be better off in the long run!

Ah, Cloe, you are a lucky woman. Your husband is not only good lookin, he is also sweet. If I didn't have a good one of my own I would be quite green with envy.

Your hair troubles worry me. I have thick, coarse, wavy hair. It helps me to look years younger than I really am. I am afraid of saying good-bye to it even though it is hell in the summer - kinda like wearing a duvet on my head! And I have a head that is shaped like a cinder block, four corners and all. I don't think I am going to look all that cute as a hairless grrl....

I give up....what are ketchup chips?

It's nice to see Carlene visiting Canada.:) How are you enjoying the weather up here? Some of us have already been hit with the first blizzard of the season. I have taken in my tropical plants, stowed the patio furniture, harvested the herbs, but the geraniums are still outside and doing well. :biggrin1:

As for chips, we also have sour cream and chive chips. I don't know whether these are available in the U.S. They used to be my favourite. They are hyper-fattening.

Ooooh chips... it's been so long.

Well, not really. I miss snarfing down a big bag in a night. I love all kinds, ketchup, salt and vinegar, dill pickle, CHEEZIES!, Cheetos, sour cream and onion rings, Doritos and salsa, plain old 'ripple" with various Philadelphia chip dips .... oh why, oh why did you have to mention chips!?!?! :rolleyes:

ketchup chips, that's probably the only chips I didn't enjoy. Thank goodness because they were my kids favorite. Nothing better than Salt and Vinegar chips with cream soda to cure a hangover (in my younger days).

Cloe, about the Hair loss. I don't know if I told you guys but before I had Lap Band surgery, I went to an info session in the US about gastric bypass surgery. Anyway, at the session, there was this skinny hair stylist who was obviously there because of her large husband. When the question came up about hair loss, she piped up and said that she has had a few clients who have had gastric bypass and while there hair was falling out she would not do any chemical treatment to their hair such as color or perms because such chemical treatments could promote even more hair loss.

On an another note, my dh was telling me, I haven't seen it yet, but there is a new hair product being advertised to promote Hair growth. It's not one of the ones mentioned previously. Has anyone seen the ads?

Good info Wheezy. I already have curly hair so perms are out. I did throw a semi-permanent colour on about 2 months ago, but I didn't like it anyway, so I'm not going to do it again. But I will ask my stylist if he knows any products to use. If you think of the name let me know?? Is it Biotin or nioxin?, I'm gonna ask him about those.

I love vinegar chips. I love Miss Vickie's vinegar chips. I just got filled, it's raining, and I would kill for some right now!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
