Mrs. Sully's new 'Do

Mrs.Sully got a new haircut. Major haircut, like my hairdresser asking me twelve thousand times if I'm sure I want to do this. Why so drastic you ask? Well, since I have breezed through this whole gastric bypass experience so well, there was bound to be at least one bump in the road. My bump in the road=hair loss. I knew to expect some. I wasn't thrilled about it, but I knew it could happen. I was told to start to expect it around months 2-3. Yea right. My head has been hemorrhaging hair like the BP oil well is hemorrhaging oil since day 5. I am very, very, very lucky to have started out with a full, thick head of hair. A head of hair I never really appreciated until now. What started out as nice and thick and full, is now thin, not so thick, and noticeable. Anytime my hands touch my hair, I got clumps. Listen, I'm a girl, I've had long hair, I know hair come out, and sticks in the tub, and all that good stuff. I'm not talking about that. I am talking every time you shampoo, condition, rinse, comb, blow dry, put hair up, take hair down, run hands through hair, clumps every single time. My hairline looks like it's receding. When I feel my hair, I can feel how thin it is. Regular claw clips I used to have to by the huge ones, because that is all that would hold my hair. Now, I can put all my hair up with one of the really small ones :(

Here is what my hair used to look like



I don't really have any pics that show exactly how thinned out my hair got. I rarely wore it down, and when I did, I would wear a headband so you could not see how thin it was. I decided to cut it, and start over. I'm hopeful my hair will eventually grow back! Here is how it looks now. Unfortunately, it was pouring when I left, so it doesn't look quite as good as it first did, but you get the idea!





Seriously, these are not great pics. My hairdresser is awesome, and these pics really don't show what a great job she did. What you can't see in the pics is how healthy and shiny my hair looks and feels, and how much more volume it has, it actually feels thick again! I will post more pics on a better hair day lol. So would I have the surgery again knowing exactly what would happen to my hair? Absolutely. I have lost 67 pounds in 4 months, and still losing. This is just my vent. I have been very lucky, I have had no issues, (knock on wood) and I can eat just about anything I want. Oh well, that's all for now.
