I dyed my hair when I was three weeks out. I was one of the very fortunate ones that my hair did not fall out. I worked hard at keeping my Protein up and I had lots of food issues for several months. I was prepared for it to fall out since it did when I had major surgery once before.

I am four weeks post today and I just had mine died on Saturday. I had been contemplating it for weeks however I put it off only because my hair is waist length and it means sitting in a salon chair for three hours to have it completed. I was so sore that I knew I wouldn't tolerate sitting that long. They say that Hair loss starts around month 4-5, so I figured I had better enjoy my hair now just in case!!!!

You can dye your hair as long as you can stand up for awhile.

Maggie, what does standing up have to do with dying hair? I'm confused on that one.

@@AmyC65, if she's doing it herself then moving her arms up and down might hurt.

I do hair for a living and I didnt do anyone's hair till I was 6 weeks out. I did do my own right away. Just do what makes you feel comfortable.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
