Okay, bald is a strong statement. But I am losing my hair in large quantities. I read about it, I understood it would probably happen, but I still am not prepared for it.
I have babyfine hair to begin with. I feel like screaming, "I FINALLY GOT TO A SOMEWHAT NORMAL WEIGHT NOW I HAVE TO BE BALD?!!" LOL.
I just have to be diligent about my vitamins and supplements. I have not been so great about that lately. Sometimes, in the morning, my hair comes out in CLUMPS! SHOCKING, HUGE CLUMPS!
I am working on "just letting it be", but it IS a weird experience! Ah, vanity thy name is MOI.
My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!
