That's a great looking head of hair! You chose such a flattering hair style. I am impressed. I had always had super thick hair until I had a trauma and surgery years ago and it fell out by the handfuls, and I really was depressed by it. Then hypothyroidism took another toll. I had a tour in the ICU after my surgery, so I figure between the two, and many issues with Protein, that I'm likely to lose a bunch. I really appreciate seeing how great you look and knowing a little bit more about wigs because I need the knowledge.

I thank you all for the support, honestly. I am starting to adjust and feel more comfortable in this. I have found a couple benefits..1) I stay warmer. Just like wearing a hat, the wig tends to hold heat in a bit. Which is a great thing with the temps dropping and the constant cold feeling post op. And 2) my head stays dry in the rain!!! LOL Ok, may not be what you all were thinking but it is something. I try to be the glass half full type... Anyway, I hope my story helps anyone out there who may be struggling as I was with hair loss. There ARE options, just have to accept it for what it is. I found a LOT of websites that sell wigs. ( who knew?) I purchased through Paula Young. They were fast shipping / delivery and the prices were economical. Some of their looks are a little dated, but they do have a lot to choose from. And as you can see, they look pretty good. The care is super simple and makes getting ready a snap! Gives me much more time to do my makeup well ( which makes me look a LOT better) and not be late for work..So win / win. LOL Seriously, I do appreciate everyone who took time to give me support here. Makes a rough adjustment that much easier!!!

      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.
