I bought a couple of cute, short wigs in preparation of my hair shedding. I wanted to be pro-active and you know how sistas love the hair! I wasn't really ready to actually cut it all off. Fortunately I haven't had any shedding though....I'm still sporting the sassy bob wigs though...:)

My hair is thin anyway. I know it will get thinner and I have alway wanted to shave my head. Crazy, I know. A month ago I just said screw it. I shaved it! Now I have no maintance, it is so easy. I bought several different wigs. Now I get to rock a different color, length and style everyday. Even my husband loves my bald head!

I cut all mine off a year and a half ago, because my hair was overly processed and falling out by the handfuls. It took some getting used to, but I rocked the fro for a while LOL. It's almost shoulder length now. Since my surgery, I haven't noticed any more hair than normal falling out, so yes go ahead cut it, short hair is cute. You could also wear a wig, I wear wigs all Winter to protect my hair and give it a rest.

I went natural over this past year and my hair grew really long to me, it was about shoulder length in the back. I just recently cut it all off as you see in my profile pic. by the way, I love short hair, so the long hair was out of character for me.

      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.
