I had to do it. After the last trip to the hair dresser, my hair was sooooo damaged I just had to do it. … You guessed it, I now have short hair !
Honestly, I can’t remember ever having short hair, but I do now. I also had her put in some more blonde high lights, they help to cover the lingering Hot pink from the last disaster.
Bonnie said, It’s cute and I look younger and Hubby really likes it. He went to far as to say ..
I look HOT.
Me Hot, that’s odd. He thinks I should keep it this way. …
Personally I think I look like a cute little boy, but there are some advantages to short hair. It’s a lot cooler and faster to blow dry and I my case, I no longer have to brush out enough hair from my head every day to make a fur ball the size of a small animal any more. So that’s good.

- suzybytheounce: I know, but they can be sooo maddening. It makes you wonder what you've done wrong and or worry that you won't lose any more. I know I'm only 7 months
- Beyond Bariatric: Don't despair, plateaus happen but they're just that, a plateau. Let me tell you from experience that you can overcome them. I'm nearly 7 years post-o

You are doing so great. keep up the good work. Your blog is an inspiration to me.
I am pre-op on a liver reduction diet. I have a hard time keeping my emotions separate from eating.
One of my biggest “fears” is losing my hair AGAIN! I had chemo in the winter 07-08 and am getting it back. I know it is silly, but for some reason my hair is so important to me. I have pictures of me last summer with very short thin hair and when I look in the mirror now and see my luscious locks, I cringe at the thought of going through that again.
Can you give me some encouraging words.
thanks-jackie

Oh, I know who you feel …. I was sooo worried about hair loss and saggy skin, I just don’t have the words to express how fearful I really was and still am. And NO … it’s NOT silly! There isn’t a woman on Earth that ever wants to lose their hair. I guess it’s a girl thing
When mine started to fall out, I wanted to just lay down and die … Each day a watched, as what felt like hands full of hair were being brushed off of my head … I felt as if whatever beauty I still have, was being removed from my brush and thrown in the trash can along with my hair.
It’s hard for people that have not gone through what we are going through to understand.
Most people would say: It just hair, it will grow back, get over it. But they would be Wrong!!
It is a very emotional thing …. Watching and Praying you won’t loss too much.
As mine got increasing thinner and more and more damaged I just had to cut it off, to keep from feeling too much like a freak.
I feel your pain sooooo much, tears are welling up in my eyes as I try to type my reply.
Even though I didn’t have chemo like you did, I can relate to what your sharing with me.
The good part about going through what we are going through, is that Luckily for us – women,
it WILL grow back in time, as you well know. Sadly, not so lucky for most men … so that’s a BIG Plus for Us.
Another Great part is that having the surgeries we need, in our cases, well keep us alive long enough for our hair to grow back. And that’s the real reason we can withstand all that we have to, in order to keep alive. I wish you well on your up coming surgery ….. Your a survivor, so I know you’ll come through the surgery and what follows, as bravely as you’ve done before. I admire your courage … I’m so glad you took the time to write me, cause now I think of you as my inspiration.
Big Hug to You,
Suzy
