Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

It has Begun :(. My poor hair!



Recommended Posts

I knew it was coming, but was secretly hoping I would skip shedding my limited hair supply...not that lucky...hair is falling out like crazy!

My problem is I have completely white hair under all that brown color and I need to do my roots (dark hair looks MUCH thicker than the Snow White nature has blessed me with)

Any one continue to color once your hair started thinning? How did it go? Any coloring products that may work better than others?

Its OK! I had so many things going on that when mine first started I did not even notice, then came the day that I lost so much hair! I ran my hand through it in the shower and it looked like I had snatched someone bald in a cat fight. I sat in the shower and cried.

Then I went short - hair that is and I asked myself "who can give me a short cut, while this passes, that is used to cutting balding heads - SPORTS CLIPS!!!"

lol - no kidding, they deal with men balding all the time, go in and see what they can suggest by way of a cut until it grows back in - and it will grow back in!!! concentrate on fruits and veggies and mindful Protein and Water and you will get it back. My hair is actually the thickest now that it has been in 15 years or so (as the head shrinks, your hair growing back will look a bit thicker).

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
