I know it's just hair but I had no choice to cut it all off. I hate it. It's not me. I feel just as shitty as I did at 275. Everyone is staring at me. Asking me questions. I hate it. I feel horrible

I completely understand. I just cut my bcl hair to shoulder length. It is shedding so bad I had no choice. It feels weird to have so little hair. I hope it stops soon so I can grow it back out.

Try Chi Ionic 44 it's a three step treatment. A person who was going thru Kemo told me what she was using for her hair and I tried it and it has dramatically stop the shedding almost to a halt. Losing maybe a few strings instead of a wig in my sink each time I comb my hair. Please try it you will not be disappointed I don't sell it or anything I just know how your feeling right now. You can purchase it thru the website or a beauty supply store. I wouldn't suggest any online store because it may be a knock off so be careful that your getting the real deal.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am almost 5 months out and started finding my shoulder length strands of hair everywhere. I had bobbed my hair from mid back to chin length right before surgery. It has grown a lot, but now is falling out, alarmingly fast. My scalp is itchy too. I figure it is the winter dry air.

Done Did It!

Took a quick look and there seems to be quite a few versions...can you say which you use specifically?

A co worker has a beautician license and she goes to a beauty supply store and purchase my supply the cost for the three step is $23.00. My hair was growing too until one day three months out the shedding started and hasn't stop until I started using this product I wish I would have known when it first started.

I just had my hair cut off too:( I am only 5 weeks out but my hair is thick and was shedding alot. Plus I work in a food plant. So no choice. It will grow back. We will all be so much happier it will be worth it. Here is a pic of my hair before cutting.

      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.
