Another I remember when for you pre ops or newbies

Jun 17, 2014

I was just thinking of hairloss.  I have very thick hair. Even though I had a lot of it, after surgery it started falling out.  Quiet a bit fell out.  I remember thinking I was going to be bald.  You can see by my before photo that I had a head full of hair.  It lasted about 3 months and after my body adjusted to my new eating habits I had little nubs coming in all over my head.  I am very happy to say if you lose your hair, it will come back.  It is just part of the process.

Right after surgery it is easy to flip out when things like this happen.  Or when you lose fast and all of a sudden it stops.  The same thing happened to me.  I remember getting on here boohooing I am stuck at 143 or something like that.  That didn't go over well to people that were wanting surgery and still up there.  That little lag in weight loss lasted 2 months.  I don't even think I lost inches.  Then all of a sudden it started melting away again.   The closer you get to goal the less you lose.  Just be patient.

Don't forget it took you a long time to get at the weight you are.  Don't expect to lose it overnight.  Again, take pictures, measurements, and weigh once a month.  Keep a journal of all the measurements and weight.  It is fun even years later to look back and see how you use to look.  Please Please Please do a before photo.  You might not think you are going to change that much but you will.  People who had not seen me in months didn't know me.

This is the best thing I ever did for my health.  You have more confidence, feel better, and can shop anywhere.
