Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

I have very thick long hair too. I noticed huge amounts of loss around 4-7 months out after surgery. It is not noticeable to other people thank heavens. I am getting my haircut tomorrow as I have noticed the loss is normalizing and I’m expecting it will start regrowing soon.

@AstroCat I love the short hair on you too! Really brings out your eyes!

You don't have to chop it yourself, have your chair syled by a professional, they can work with what you have and make it not look raggedy. You are somebody, pamper yourself a little. You can grow it back out later if you want, okay?

Thank you for the compliments everyone! I'm very happy I did it.

Krista27- good luck! Only do it if you are sure though- I will say that it feels so liberating to have it off now :)

So @ AstroCat, do you feel a little light- headed? Your old hair had to Weigh a fair amount, but this will be easy to take care of for a while.👍😛🌈

I kinda figured all along you would end up cute, you can always grow it back out when your,hair thickens again if you want.

@ Palomabella are you saying the albuterol sulfate in my nebulizer will help thicken my hair? Wow I hope you're right -'it's thin naturally.Anything that will help!

I’m suffering Hair loss however stated taking silica tablets. It’s not falling out as much as it did prior. I still am getting fall outs but nowhere near as much. I take one tablet daily.

      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.
