I agree to a certain degree with you on all that but honestly round faces just should NOT have certain haircuts-they arent flattering.I work in a professional environment and like to look a certain way-although gaining this weight mde me feel less about my appearance I do know not to get that short sassy haircut I want just yet-much like I know not to go try to squish my size 20 butt into a size 12 pant-lol.

yeah Ive wondered the same thing on sizes-Im 5'3 and at 214 I wore a 20/22 but I see others with basicly same stats wearing 18-I wished-if I wore an 18 id look squished in and itd define my rolls-lol.I am also top heavy-even before all my weight gain my chest is a 42dd now its a 46dd-ugh-but my doctor will finally sign off to have reduction once I lose the weight as its a health issue with my back and such.

Cute haircut is a must too once you lose the weight, new look requires a new do.., I just had my hair cut short last week, I have a new do and it is so stylish, looks great with my thin face and my new body, and it is so easy to keep up.

O.K. Missy, we need a new picture of that cute new hair cut! :):D:D

I COMPLETELY agree with Vinesqueen. Go get that hair doo now, life is way too short to stop living. I know there are certain things that can't be done. but there is sooo much you can do. I tell myself and friends ok anyone who will listen that it's a good thing I am overweight, otherwise all the men would want me!! Not to mention, when I get skinny I will be sooo cute, I won't be able to stand myself. I waited years to get a stylish haircut, and thought I was not small enough to wear cute clothes. Did you know, cute clothes come in "fat chick" sizes too. Now I dress cute and very in style, and have everything except the skinny jeans. That too will come, sooner now that I am banded. I have lost 24 lbs and feel better already. maybe just knowing my time is coming.

For years I worked hard dieting excer. and nothing helped, now I literally have the "power within" My day will come, but until then

"look out skinny girls, here I come and I will be cutier than you"

Get you hair styled now! see how great it fills, it may give you the power you will need to get thru the hard times to come with this whole pre & post op.

PS that old saying that you need a hairstyle to fit your face, some skinny chick made that up, its crap do what you want!

I can't wait to buy clothes and not just shoes. Fat girls love their shoes, don't they? I've got more clogs than Nordstroms carries. It's ridiculous!

I can totally relate to the haircut dilemma. The year I became a nurse 1995, I got a really short cute haircut. My mom told me I looked like a linebacker on a football team. I never did that again!

How about fitting in an airplane seat?

How about not having everyone look at you on an airplane as you go down the aisle with a look that says "please do not have the seat next to me!"?

How about the seat belt fitting without having to ask the airline attendent for a seat belt extention?

How about grocery shopping without everyone looking at your purchases and frowning??? Or worse yet making comments?????

How about no more mean "fat" comments from young children, teenagers, strangers, "so-called" friends, family....EVERYONE?

How about being able to sit in a lawn chair without the fear of breaking it?

(that has actually happened to me, I was mordified!!!)

How about being able to wear high heels without excruciating (sp.) pain?

The list is endless......

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
