Anybody have an upcoming surgery date and considering doing the Big Chop besides me? I haven't had a relaxer since Thanksgiving Day (only because I like to stretch my relaxers) but I don't know if I want to relax my hair before my surgery next week or cut it all off since it may start coming out anyway.

I have had a relax in for 2 months...I gone natural..I just clipped the old growth off ...now I'm down to a natural curl..loving it...but I plan to relax it back after a couple month after surgery..my surgery is on April 9...

I used to try the chew, chew, chew then spit out...but never ended up spitting the food out! Before I could even fix my mouth to spit anything out I had swallowed the food and didn't even know it!!?de03

Did that cause u to gain weight?

My surgery is on April 8. Yeah, Im really considering on chopping it off this weekend. I havent had my hair short since I was in high school 2 decades ago when I was rocking the Halle berry cut so it will be very different for me. My hair is thin; even thinner when relaxed and I assume it will look extra thin when it starts coming out. *sigh*

My hair just this week started shedding...a lot. Any ideas on how to stop it? My Protein is high, I needed to add in some fruits and veggies more per my doctor.

I have not had any issues with losing my hair. Not sure why others have.

How far out are you? From what I've read, on average it usually starts shedding between month 3 and 4. Or you may be blessed enough to be the exception!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
