I ended up purchasing clips that lock in the hair extensions, so I can reuse the clips with different extensions. I have wefts that I leave curled and wefts that I leave straight. They'e easy to switch out, and I'm not locked into that color because the clips are removable. Here is the link to the clips I purchased, and then I just asked the beauty store lady what type of hair to purchase... I suggest not going with synthetic as you can't use hot tools on it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LYRCOO9/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518705853&sr=8-2&keywords=selfit-clip&dpPl=1&dpID=51noqMJuKYL&ref=plSrch

Originally, I had someone sew in 2 wefts, just to give me some volume... I don' recommend that route. It was uncomfortable and even though I was drinking water, I found my scalp was exceptionally dry and irritated from it. I switched to clip in wefts, and I'm much happier now! I can wear them when I want to, and can deep clean my scalp when I need to.

I was thinking of clip-in wefts, because that would allow me to remove them when I want. It's no different than putting a barrette in your hair. I don't want to use glue or tape, if possible. I did see they have clip-in toppers. My hair is thinning in general all over... Not necessarily balding or bald Patches, so I dint think the fibers would really help. I'm looking to add fullness to my hair. I have an appointment with my hairdresser in a couple of hours. We're going to discuss options. She makes her own clip-in wefts. I knew going into this that I would lose more hair than most. My surgeon told me that if you have fine hair before surgery, typically I could expect more hair loss. I'm already growing back my hair, though! The combination of Biotin, keratin, a boost of Protein intake, adding flax seed daily, and Nioxin has worked wonders... I've got little baby hairs sprouting all over my head! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using the BariatricPal App

I had very fine hair before surgery, and since my surgery I've had significant hair loss (I'm 5 months post-op). I have a national TV interview in October that I really need to look my best for, and I was wondering if anyone had experience with using hair extensions with their post surgery hair loss... What kind (clip in, tape, glue, sewn in) did you try? Did you like it? Did they cause extra damage/fallout? Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using the BariatricPal App

It just rained, so humid. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk I was driving on 130 through Pflugerville when it started to rain so hard I couldn't see a car length in front of me! It's humid, but at least it dropped the temperature! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

If your doctor approves, try Metamucil... The Fiber will help. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

The Oh Yeah! One bars are awesome... Birthday cake and Lemon Cake are my favorite... They're really starting to stomp the competition (mainly Quest). Quest bars tend to feel very heavy in my stomach after I eat (almost makes me feel like I've over eaten). The Oh Yeah! One bars don't sit so heavily in my stomach.

Just had to share my 2 month post-op photos! Look at them hips, though! Starting weight was 254. Day of surgery I was 240. Today I am 200. Doctor's goal is 140. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I take Nature Made Vitamelts. Even though I can take full size Multivitamins now, I still prefer the vitamelts. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

It definitely hit the spot and covered my craving for pizza! I LOVE Hawaiian pizza, so this was a pleasant substitute! Honestly, if you haven't used Pinterest to find post WLS recipes, you're missing out! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm 2 weeks out and having similar feelings. Stressed about yard work I can't really do right now. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App You can't have pizza after sleeve? Or you just choose not to? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App It's too early for me for grease and carbs in that quantity... I have friends that have had the sleeve and they're fine with eating pizza, and I have sleeved friends that have completely sworn off foods like that. It's up to you as an individual to make that decision. I ended up making a crustless pizza (Canadian bacon on the bottom, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pineapple).

Last night, as a treat to my kids who both made A Honor Roll, I ordered pizza and a movie for them... I've been so good about resisting my natural urges to just eat whatever (I'm much more attentive to what I put in my body now). As my boys dug in and enjoyed their ooey-gooey pizza, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. I closed the door and cried because I couldn't have any pizza, and to me that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. I laugh about it now, but I was truly heartbroken last night. lol So, what's your most ridiculous post-op overreaction? Anyone else ever cry over Pizza :-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

A solid choice for me is always the kids' grilled chicken nugget meal from Chick-fil-A! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 4/26/16. I had my 2 week post-op check up today and my surgeon is very pleased with my progress! When I started my pre-op diet I weighed in at 254lbs! The day of my surgery I was 241lbs... Today I weighed in at a ridiculous 220lbs!!! I'm currently wearing a shirt that was previously form fitting/tight, and it's actually fitting the way it's supposed to be! I'm in little to no pain, and I'm tolerating pureed food very well (just started purees today)! I'm feeling truly blessed in my recovery, and I have so many of my family and friends cheering me on and asking for updates! It makes me teary eyed to see how many people care about me and my health! Ok, hormonal moment over! Thanks, y'all! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

During my pre-op diet I went to a make your own stir fry place and when they asked me which starch I wanted (rice or noodles) I said none - they looked at me crazy. I also went to Arby's during my pre-op diet and ordered roast beef and cheese with no bun, and the kid couldn't figure out how to put it in the register. :-| Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
