Hair Loss I consider this under the ugly catagory

Well I am starting to experience hair loss as a consequence of the weight loss surgery. I was hoping I would skip that phase of the experience. I have been told that it takes about two to three months after the weight loss surgery before hair loss starts and about seven months before it comes back.

I bought a wig and I wore it today. I do not like it very much. It is just not me. So I am still searching for a wig that I will be happy with. It is hard to find a blonde with out there that is shoulder length and has bangs.

I do not like this part of the process. Before I had my surgery my hair was thinning already due to PCOS. It was hard to deal with then, but now is worse.                 

I do not feel beautiful and am trying not to let myself get depressed about this. I just keep reminding myself that this is temporary! This surgery is worth it and I do feel happier and healthier.

I have lost 81 lbs now and I am off my blood pressure medication!

  1. Jess, you are doing great but can you slow down a little. How long do you go on a low calorie way of eating? Stay healthy, eat good food and eat slow. Mom's orders, lol

  2. Hi mom,
    I am doing good. I will stay on low calories until I meet my goal and then it will level out to about 1200 calories a day.

    I am being monitored by my doctor and also getting blood test to make sure that I am on track health wise so no worries mom.

    Love ya.
