Atta girl, slim.

Next I'd tell him if he wants to reconnect with mommy dearest, he ought to go over there and have tv dinners with her.

His reconnecting with her does NOT have to include you. He can do it without you at HER house.

Pre cancer I had long, very straight, fairly light blonde hair. When it grew back in it was darker, much coarser, and some is curly to the point of being frizzy, and yet other locks, are much straigher. It has been a challenge ever since! I lost probably 50% of my hair post banding, seriously! And I did all the Protein, the Vitamins, and ate a healthy diet, but lost it anyway. It however grew in same as before....rather confused!!!!

My hair is light brown/dark blonde, with lots of natural variations in it, so while I can occasionally see what I think is a gray hair, it blends so is not noticable.

DH is the only one out of he and his siblongs who was not gray in their 20's. He is almost 50, and his hair is beginning to have gray, and his beard is about 50/50. He has a full head of hair tho, while his brother who was always the long hair hippie, lost his early, and now bics his head regularly! His oldest sister is white headed, and dyes it really light blonde (which is still a darker color than her own!!!!) And his other sister went gray---not white, and she lets it be natural. It has a tendency to yellow. When it was whiter, it was kinda pretty, but where I lost my hair post banding, she lost some, but her hair went yellow-----pretty strange! Her bangs area has never changed, it continues to be a yellow gray.

It still throws me to run into old friends, and see them all gray headed, it is like WTH happened???!!! How did they get old without me!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

I wanna put something on to cook, and be ready for an easy dinner------------anyone have any ideas???

I'm starting get a few stray grays and it's driving me crazy. What drives me even crazier is that my DD and I seem to be the only people who can see them. My DH, DS and friends are all blind to the gray and tell me I'm just crazy. I'm conflicted about coloring. I like the color of my natural hair and I haven't seen a color chemical that can match it. I think I'll have to cave and see if I can get them to try and match the color as much as possible 'cause the stray grays are driving me crazy.

My gray tends to stick out, literally. They are wild and won't be tamed by anything. I put in fairly light highlights to cover the gray. That way if they catch the light, you can't tell if it is gray or a highlight.

same here - my grey is corse, nothing like my normal textured hair. i'm a triple process person, one step to cover the grey, then a set of highlights & set of lowlights. i probably spend too much on my hair - but that's my little vice:) DH has been going grey since he was 30. i like it - he'll never lose it, but it gets a bit more grey each yr...he blames me:)

kat - i threw chicken in a crockpot (mexican style - recp i got here) cause i knew i wanted to lay out by the pool all day & read.....it's GORGEOUS out; but the pool is COLD!

Just make sure they don't go too dark. Dark over dark over time gets REALLY dark quickly!!

A woman at work does henna coloring on hers so it just looks like light brown highlights against her almost black hair.

My parents have very little and they're late 60's. I found one in my younger brother's hair; it was a lot of fun! He's always been naturally slender so I like having the good teeth and no grays! a025.gif

DH has one gray in his beard. He has none on his head. Instead, he is going bald. He has been going bald since his late twenties. He was in denial. He kept saying that the barber was messing up his hair line (instead of realizing that his hair line was receding). Now there is no doubt about the half moon shape across the top of his head. He shaves it everyweek in hopes of no one knowing he is bald.

Ok, on a different note. Apparently, DH doesn't understand that I didn't cook so that his mom couldn't mooch my food. He seems to think it was because I had an adjustment this week. He is still in denial.

I tried that, but it made my gray stand out even more because they are only around my temples and the very edge of my hair. I figure DH and his family is the cause of my new gray hair. His mother called just to be sure I didn't go ahead and cook. hmph!:)

So... set him straight. "No, dearest, it's because of your mama." :)

As for the evil MIL, well, I am with Beth. I would have kicked her to the curb in a hurry. My first husband was the biggest mama's boy ever, it drove me nuts.

That's what is funny. Before she moved near us, he has NEVER acted like a mama's boy. He would talk about how he didn't understand how his own mother takes no interest in her grandson. They have argued so many times over her lack of any type of interest in our everyday life. That's why I don't understand what her nearness has done to him.:confused:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
