I just did mine at 10 weeks post op. Do it now before it starts falling out! I didn't think there was a waiting period.

I was never told that I couldn't. I did mine at about 6-8 weeks. I had colored mine right before surgery.

You can certainly dye it at any time, however it may not take quite as well as it normally would because of the hormonal changes in the body.

I dyed mine right before surgery it didn't cover as well as it usually did so I think it just depends on your body

I am 14 weeks post op and have dyed my hair twice. No problems here. But I only wash my hair and blow dry it 2x a week because of the Hair loss. My stylest recommend getting ot professionall washed 2x a month at least bercause the vigorous washing stimulated the scalp and new Hair growth. Dr said absolutley correct. So I treat myself! I am lucky that my hair is not oily.

      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.
