I’ve noticed a bit of a morbid trend in the forums lately and wanted to pipe up. This decision is the best decision I have ever made for myself. I am happier in my own skin in a way I can’t remember ever being. I’ve lost about 125lb minimum since thanksgiving 2017 (too ashamed to step on a scale but easily over 300lbs). Now I’m 7 months out and god even at the most painful point in my recovery did I doubt my decision. This changed my life. I will forever be grateful I had the strength to go through with it.

So newbies and pre-surgers.... make the decision if it’s right for you and don’t let fear dictate your choice!

Me last year... and me just over 6 months post op and down about 110-115lbs 😊

And yes, my work bathroom is blindingly yellow... I can’t use that bathroom when I have a headache LOL

Thank you! I don’t feel like the same person either! It’s been an incredible journey :)

NOT gonna lie... I was thinking along this line. F him and his horse. I'd use it as motivation to get even hotter and watch him choke on his tongue. And sleep with his friend. Cuz yeah.

I am the same!!! I am down pretty much close to 120-125lbs from where I was this time last year and I’m constantly freezing! My hands are like freaking icicles.

You ladies are the best - thank you so much! Reading your replies have lifted my spirits more than you know. I now know to freeze Protein Shakes for ice cream, practice what to say when he comes crawling back after seeing that this WILL work damn it!, and pick one of his friends to sleep with!

You both look fantastic. HUGE Congrats to both of you, WAY TO GO!!!!!

I got down to 260 for Surgery in May. I’m down 80lbs since surgery.

Just over 7 months post op today feeling AMAZING! Old picture of me around 295ish and me today at 180 in a size LARGE shirt from the loft :)

Thank you! Yes I keep it buzzed to a 3. It provides a little bit of hair for the grips to stick to but not enough for it to bulk. It has made a tremendous difference in how I feel about myself. I surfed wig sites for a good year before I bit the bullet. I love it now but it took me a while to get used to it. I was so used to seeing myself with thin hair that going to the thickness of a wig or topper made me feel like a charlatan. But I’ve gotten over that 😉

You look ahhhhh-mazing!!

You look fantastic!!! Now spill your guts...where'd you get the turtleneck? Inquiring minds and all!

❤️ ❤️ Scam away my friend!

I did the same thing. Every type of supplement under the sun, creams and specials shampoos, was on rogaine for almost 2 years religiously (and only got facial hair to thank for it -_-) Weight loss amplified my alopecia so I ended up shaving it.
My brand preference is definitely Jon Renau. Super realistic looking. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Jon Renau Marion (SUPER comfy)
Gabor Radiant Beauty (SO much hair but looks cute in an updo)
Jon Renau Rachel (My fav!)
Jon Renau Allesandra
Raquel Welch Upstage (Good if you have a big head, I can't wear it anymore because my noggin shrunk!)
Jon Renau Mila (Because everyone ****** needs a platinum one!)

I also ordered a cheaper one ($80 vs the JR's that usually run me upwards of $300 when you hit the sales). This one is off Etsy and is definitely a bit wiggier but I LOOOOOVE it. If your out and proud with your wigs like I am, it is so much fun to play around with different styles.

I have more than is linked here too. I have various colors of multiple styles. It's an addiction....

A word on toppers... they are GREAT if you have enough hair to clip into. However they DO damage your bio hair. If you don’t rotate the clips a bald spot will develop.

I would have continued wearing toppers but my hairloss became too pronounced (alopecia) so I ended up with wigs (so much fun!)
