Mine is almost to the bra strap, I have vowed that if it starts thinning I will cut it above the shoulders... okay, lol, maybe just at the shoulders. I am literally coming up on 3 months post op, and worried I will start losing it.

How far post op are you? Did you do this from post-WLS hair loss, or just because you felt like it? I bet you were just feeling rebellious and sassy, LOL!

I was sleeved April 20. It is very thick and I have waited way too long for a cut. Fortunately, it was long enough I could donate it if I was willing to go short so I took the plunge. To donate it it has to be at least 9" long.

My hair is so thick that even with the anticipated post-surgery Hair loss I should still have plenty left.

Haha! Good for you for donating!

I have long thick hair. When I was losing I did lose hair. By the fistfull. Turns out it made my hair look better. Now I get it thinned. Oh, the irony.

I understand. I always got mine thinned in the summer and still lived in a ponytail because it could be so hot.

I can't believe how much lighter my head and neck feel ... and how little Shampoo I am using. It's quite a change.

I have dry, fine, curly hair so I have switched over to the "no poo" method and essentially wash my hair with a detangling conditioner. I have been doing this for several years now - only Shampoo when it is truly dirty from riding in the dust or something like that - perhaps 1-2x a month.

Then I finish it with a defrizz/shine/curl enhancer type product and let it airdry. Easy peasy and I get alot of compliments on my hair.

I just turned 51, and am still blessed with (mostly) brunette hair. I know it is vain, but my hair makes me feel feminine and beautiful. I know someday I will cut it short, but for now this works. :)

      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.
