Hairy Legs

I thought this would be a silly post - but we all can lighten up a bit from time to time!

Who else has really hairy legs? I shaved the night before my surgery but haven't been able to shave since - so I am walking around in shorts, mind you, as unashamed as possible. I had the open procedure so maybe I'll be the last one standing unshaved! Sure can't wait to have my smooth legs back!

Oh girlfriend, that is me!!! LOL, i haven't had the chance to. The pain of bending over like that was too much for me to handle. It's gonna take me three razors and a lot of shaving gel when i decide to tackle this chore that will be my shaven legs! I've been wearing capri sweats for a couple days now. My dad has made a comment. Too funny, he's like, "Wow, you're legs are hairy! Trying to keep warm for winter?" i'm like...Uh no, it's hard for me to shave. haha

LOL I do too. I think I'm okay to do it now, but I just don't have the time ... or should i say, I just don't take the time to pamper myself right now. :) I had open as well.

:) thanks for the laughs - there are so many little incidentals that we all go through with this process...might as well make the most of it and have some fun with it!

I looked down this morning and almost couldn't tell my legs from my husbands. I don't really have an excuse as I had lap RNY but I guess I have been focusing on other things. I can't drive yet so I haven't been out of the house.
