So, I'm almost 12 weeks post-op, and I'm noticing that my hair color is changing. I've been about 80% grey for several years (yeah...I'm not old enough to be that grey....tell me something I DON'T already know..LOL), and my grey hair is now turning light brown!! WTF??? LOL

I know many people have commented that the hair that regrown, after hair-loss, has been different colors, different textures, curly instead of straight, etc....but, this isn't regrowth! This is long hair....that's been in my head a long while!

Has anyone else noticed this??

I don't know....I really liked the silver, and spent a lot of money, for a lot of years, coloring the light brown! LOL We'll see how it ends up!

If that is a side effect of the sleeve surgery, I want two surgeries! I turned gray when I was 21. It would be wonderful to be an awesome auburn again!

Either way, it's all good. I just want off my meds. If I get a bonus hair color change in the process, I won't complain!!! :D

I too was expecting another poop thread :)

I wonder if it's not just the typical hariloss and you are losing MORE of the grey hair making the brown hair look more prominant? Can you actually see strands that are changing color?

Ya'll are a mess...."poop thread" indeed! LOL

I can't see hairs that are multi-colored (as in the process of changing)....its like the grey is just fading. Its the weirdest thing! I haven't lost much hair (yet), so I don't think that's what's happening...besides, I didn't have enough brown hair left. LOL

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
