Need too highlight my hair



Recommended Posts

because they are mean and don’t want you to look or feel your best.

no, because your hair is like your nails and what you do on the inside now takes a little while to grow out - in a few weeks your hair will be vulnerable and you increase that vulnerability by doing coloring etc which can be harsh...

just relax and enjoy the process - you have a lifetime (probably LONGER now too) to get pretty.

xoxo

I have been getting my hair colored and highlighted with no problems. A good friend is my hairdresser and she is aware I had surgery. The have gentle products they can use on hair. I figure if my hair gets yucky looking I will cut it short and start the growing process over.. After all it is just hair. I have gray so I will continue to color my hair.

I had mine colored and highlighted at 3 1/2 weeks with no problems, was never told to wait. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

I'm a hairstylist, and I've done plenty of clients that have had surgery with no issues, as well as my own. We might lose some a few months after surgery but that's due to what's going on inside your body. Your hair is dead when it leaves the scalp, so it won't be affected by what's going on due to surgery. Losing hair from surgery and losing hair due to breakage are 2 completely different things. Go ahead and get the highlights.

I am not a hairstylist or pretend to be one - I am however a girl who did her hair allot - with and without gentle stuff - and KNOW that I do as little right now as possible to make sure the hair I do have is in the healthiest shape possible - i’ve had Hair loss from highlights and without highlights -

everyone is different and comes with different knowlege - shit - some people are eating big macs and I can’t for the life of me find that on any list - so do what you think is best for you.

IMHO.

I was never told not to dye my hair. I did at about 4 weeks and three times since surgery. So far so good.

BTW, My dr told me about a guy who was pureeing Big Macs. gag

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
