Hi all. 15 days post op. a couple of days ago I had one of those moments where I just wanted a big change. Yes like this gastric sleeve isnt big enough. ha. I have always had hair down to my shoulders or longer. I have thick wavy hair. It is unruly. well I had it all cut off. I have never had short hair. because in my mind heavy people cant have short hair--or at least not me- I wanted to try and hide my big cheeks. and hide whatever else I could hide behind there. the other thing I am doing is looking now for clothes with color. I have so MUCH black in my closet. always the thought that the color black is slimming. no it is depressing. My husband would say to me*why do you always wear black? like you are going to a funeral?* I would give him the eye and say maybe I am!!! uh huh.. Johnny cash moment.

so I thought I would post my elvis punk rocker hair do!! I have received a lot of nice compliments.. and trust me its so different for me! but thats what all this is about. Change!! for the better. Not sure if I will keep this hair--but for now I am enjoying it. Peace out trouts!!

You are rockin' that cut! Looks great. My closet is full of black clothing. I bet people think I wear the same outfit every other day but I really have about 8 pairs of black slacks that I rotate. I occasionally add in gray or navy. I look forward to the change

The short hair isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

You look great!

Thanks! I do miss my thick hair but am enjoying the new me.

Morrison1 is this a picture of you with/during your hair loss? Your hair looks great here. I'm terrified of the hair loss part and in my mind have visions of literal baldness--probably due in part to all the people who claim they are going bald now.

How bad is the hair loss?

That was the very beginning. Not bald but much thinner. I would be so devastated every time I would wash it. There would be a hand full come out. On the positive note! I have several baby hairs around my face so it's coming back????

The short hair isn't so bad. I can see the new growth which is awesome!

Super cute!
