How did you deal with hair loss?
I wore a sew in for about 6 weeks. So much hair came out and my temples thinned. Go with the wig. I haven't had much luck with wigs. My hair dresser said we're going to start doing deep condition treatments no weekly and roller setting the hair. I always had thin hair, but I had length and I could never see my scalp. I still have length, but I can definitely see my scalp more on the top. I'm starting biotin as well.

Burgers and Pizza
I think you should stay away from the pizza and burgers. Your stomach is not going to be able to handle the heaviness and grease.

When your BFF doesn't support you...
Well if anyone has any kind of bariatric surgery and they do not change their habits, you won't be successful. I think everyone knows someone who hasn't been successful. Don't let her cop out deter you from your goals. Everyone has an opinion about this surgery. I've had people question me and chastise me for doing it. I figure it's my life and I'm doing what I need to do to make it better.

When your BFF doesn't support you...
Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I believe you will find that some of your relationships will change. People will be jealous and negative. I would suggest going to support groups to connect with people who understand and to build new relationships. Sometimes when people do struggle in the same way, it's hard for them to be happy for others. Branch out and focus on you!

Mayo in your tuna salad or egg salad?
I use full fat mayo but I hardly have anything that requires mayo. Moderation and you will be fine!

What was your past slob memory
I've had so many slob moments it's not even funny. One that sticks out was my husband was in pa with his friends. His friends are vegan and took him to this vegan bakery. He brought me home 4 mini cakes of different flavors......I ate them all in one day and was so sick and ASHAMED!!

Plain water hurts my stomach...
I was so glad to see this thread. I thought something was wrong with me! I cannot drink room temperature water. It has to be iced or absolutely hot. I also find I can no longer have crystal light or the like. I drink a lot of tea. Probably not good but, I feel kind of helpless with my pouch and what makes me sick.
