Saw it on OH and commented, but still looked again over here and it is SO CUTE. I'm so happy that new hair is growing in for you, it is so traumatic losing hair.

LOL LOL my mom thought the same thing. She thought I just had it pulled back and highlighted.

It's super short in the back, my entire neck is showing, and it's super stacked up the back with the longest layer being about 4 inches long.

I color my hair at home, but really suck with highlights so I always have those done professionally. I'm super stoked to have this style, and seriously, it's the easiest thing in the world to style. I just blow dry and go, and of course, I could get more creative, and pump it up more or less. I can also flat Iron and slick it down on the sides. BUT, that Texas girl in me loves me some big hair so I like it stacked and kind of poofed out like she styled it because it does hide that it's not that thick anymore.

At least, the volume is coming back, and some of the volume and natural body that I had before I lost so much hair.

Thanks everyone so much ! ! !

You look awesome!

When I reach my goal weight, I want to do something similar. My hair is in a bob right now, but closer to chin length and not stacked, mostly because of my fat face. Can't wait to play around with hair styles and color!

I tried something edgy and wild like this with my hair recently - in a blond no less. Oh, did I mention mine is a WIG! :lol:

I'm shedding right now so that's the best I can do. I don't even want to look at my hair right now. But, I'm definitely going to get me a cute cut when the shedding calms down.

This looks GREAT on you! Work it girl!

Very cute! I love the cut and color I wish I could get my brillo pad hair into a cut like that.

So, I was trying to let my hair grow out, but I was so tired of it. I wanted a new edgy, fun cut and style to match my personality.

Never in a million years could I ever pull this off with my fat pre-op face ! ! !

This cut looks great on you! And the colors are wonderful. Is there anything we can do during the time we are losing weight to keep our hair in the best shape possible? I am a sucker for buying hair products - but would like to spend my money on stuff that is good for my hair and scalp as I am going through this process.

Thanks so much. My stylist at the time told me to go easy on heat styling products, no coloring or highlighting, and no ponytails. I used Folicure extra care Shampoo every other day, and on the opposite days I used Nexxus Dualiste anti-breakage shampoo and conditioner. The Folicure cleans the scalp, and strips your hair of build-up so the new growth can come in. I had new baby hairs coming in before the shedding stopped. I used a wide tooth comb, and a wide tooth pic to comb out my hair even though it didn't stop the shedding, pulling my hair with a brush seemed to cause more shedding with each brushing.

I never used anything super special for my hair. The Folicure (they have a conditioner as well) I picked up at Sally's beauty supply, and the Nexxus was available at Walmart.< /p>

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
