What's the opposite of a butt kisser? I don't kiss up to anybody! Except Marty McSorley. I'd kiss up to him. Or Bruce Springstein. Or Bob Segar. Well, I guess there's a few.

Well, coming to pain would would involve something I just don't have a lot of right now... time. Or money.. Okay, time and money are really short right now. Full time student on a tiny little stipend, and we don't qualify for student loans. so... crap I"m late for class again.

Lots of foils - blonde, honey, caramel and some dark brown ones. I'm not dark and I'm not fair. I would look seriously weird if I went all blonde, but as I get older, dark brown is too harsh. So I have lots and lots of colours and it all blends into a nice honey brown sort of tone - it hides the grey way better than a full tint does and it takes less maintenance but when you do get it done, sheesh, its expensive.

My hair has been every color under the sun from platinum blonde to blue/black. In my 20's and 30's I played with my hair color constantly, and frankly, I loved the really dark red-almost purple (Hybiscus from Hydriance) that I wore for awhile. Everyone else hated it, but I loved it.

After dying my hair black for a year or so, I developed an allergy to hair color and am now stuck with my natural dishwater blonde with a pretty grey streak.

DeLarla, hair is the one part of ourselves we can almost 100pct control. I say - be creative and fun with yours. If you have the choice to "be someone else" for six week, go for it. Have fun with it. Enjoy it to the max!

I say highlight it, get some of your natural color in it all the way around, have the honey blond and the chocolate brown mixed together.

The first time I decided to have my hair highlighted was when I was 39. I love it and its 3 years later. I get so many complements that the blond highlights brighten my face. The only reason I would stop getting it highlighted is because of $$$ Its $110.00 each time I go and thats not including tip. But don't do the fat lines, do the thinner ones, it looks more natural especially when growing it out.

I say yuck. My girl just re-did the roots blonde, but she didn't go "Billy Idol White" like I had it before. It looks great, but she explained that she did the color to match the style. It was either cut me into a Pixie and re-do my color, or touch up the roots and wait for this style to grow out. I knew I loved her for a reason.

But since I'm growing out that fun bob, I decided to flip it up for my big date Saturday night, which looked terrible. Go ahead and pooh-pooh my picture, and YES, I've gained a few (fluctuates between a 5-10 lb gain.)

Keep in mind, we all have an opinion, so please please please be nice. If you have anything to say that will make me barf, then let's see a FULL BODY pic of you! Muhwahahahaaha!

I like the hair and the picture is awesome. I'm so into fall colors right now so I would have a little brown and reddish brown put in on top - like about a half dozen foils of each per side. Ask your hairdresser.

You opted for the option I would have chosen for you had I been around the day you asked for opinions, lol. I very much like the more 'natural' blonde color on you.

Lookin' hot! :P

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
