My surgery is the 19th, I am heading in tomorrow for a cut and color (grey root coloring and I think some foils along my forehead and middle to help conceal the greys a bit to give me some time before I really need another touch up)... My appointment isn't til 12, and I'm picking up the sitter at 10 so hopefully I can get to the nail salon across the street from the hair place for a pedicure. I *NEED* it!! Don't want to scare the nurses ;)

/for some reason I'm not allowed to wear socks in the hospital?/

The instructions that I were give was no mani OR pedi. Or, at least no nail polish. But definitely did the hair prior to surgery! lol. I also wasn't allowed to use any hair product or soap the day of the surgery. The had me use some special soap instead. No makeup, etc. I looked a mess before I even went into surgery.

No fingernail polish, but toes are ok :) I have to shower the night before using the special soap except face and privates I can use my own and hair I use my Shampoo, repeat that process morning of surgery. Absolutely no jewelry either.

I got my hair done and my woohoo sugared (sorry if TMI) today. Might get mani pedi this weekend but no polish on the nails.

I will shave my legs the day before along with the special wash they gave me for day before and morning of surgery.

I don't want to have to deal with any maintenance for awhile after surgery.

You get your whoohaa waxed?!? I've gotten a bikini wax before my c secretions but now I'm way bigger... I'm mortified to get it done, yet intrigued. Do you do Brazilian? Or just a bikini? I can't imagine having to plop my fat butt on some lady's table and display my nethers, and fat rolls, for her to see!! Brave lady!!

When you say you go your whoohoo sugared, what does that mean? I know what you mean by whoohoo but what is sugared?

I got a Brazilian. I don't want to mess around, lol. Sugaring is a different way of hair removal but a lot like waxing. They use sugar instead of wax.

Man, the things I learn on this board.... I had no idea, but am fascinated. I just discovered waxing about a year ago (eyebrows only!), and I'm clearly far behind the times.

Does the sugar hurt less? I tried waxing my legs once and I got one little patch off and grabbed a razor to finish. Lol

I will probably shave (or veet) everything and get my hair braided or something so I don't have to bother with it after.

Sugaring doesn't hurt as much as waxing but I won't lie it hurts, especially around the sensitive lady parts.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
