Did You Dye Your Hair The First Year After Surgery?



Recommended Posts

P.S. Now if you're loosing your hair, coloring it won't affect that. Take your Vitamins, meeting all your food/protein/liquid requirements is very important to reduce Hair loss. There's also hair treatments/shampoos that can help that.

& if your hair is dry/damaged, for heaven's sake, cut out the heat styling- flat iron/ rollers/ curling iron/ blow dryer- as much as possible!

Your funny with the "should I buy a wig"... high lights are usually safer because they dye just a little last the root and the chemicals don't get into the scalp as much... Depends on what color you choose and it mixes in and hides the greys ....

I just got a full foil on Tuesday. Sleeved 9/5. I hope its ok. I just thought I wanted it to look good for a little while before it starts falling out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
