Hang in there. It DOES get better. The first month or so are pure hell - I can't lie. But then, it will gradually get easier and easier. Best of luck to you. And what you are feeling is normal; you will feel better about things down the road.

Well, I am sorry you have been through all this...but honestly, I think men are much more judgmental on women's appearances (especially weight) than women are. I was skinny once upon a time...and I loved big guys - big & tall. As an obese woman, I still loved big guys - big & tall. I am sure when I get skinny again...I will still like my guys - big & tall. I am just not attracted to skinny men, or men on the more slender end of the stick. Just as I am certain that there are men who were not attracted to me at 5'10" at 150 or 5'10" at 300 plus. Physical attraction is just a mere very small part of the equation of a good relationship...in my eyes, a whole lot more counts...a whole lot more. Just my two cents!!

There's nothing you can do really...keep up your protein, but in the end, there's nothing you can do about the hair loss except just wait it out..it does stop eventually. I have read several posts about the length of time, but I think a year is out is the longest out I have read about hair loss. I have only read one post about going bald, but the person had had several complications. Mine started about month 4; I am nearing 7 months...it is still happening. I have tried every shampoo/conditioner combo out there. I take prenatal & biotin. I have tried washing/not washing, styling/not styling, trimming/not trimming...it is still coming out & knotting up. I wish I had more positive to tell you. My heart is broken over it because my hair is all I have & finally being skinny again is in reach, but with crappy hair...very discouraging to me. I knew it would happen, but till it does a person isn't prepared for it. Best of luck to all of us with it.

I have been thin before (and didn't know it & didn't realize it or see it in any way)...I am 5'10" and weighed between 150-160 for many years...but miserable thinking I had to weigh 115-125 lbs because of magazine models, tv, movies, society in general... so what I learned from being fat (300 + for many years) is this...I am ME, regardless...and I am awesome & always have been and didn't know it & now I do know it...so I have learned my weight is really meaningless...it is my reaction/thoughts/feelings about the weight that matters...wished it hadn't take wls for me to figure this out, but it did...
