It is about time to lose my hair...

Jan 20, 2013

I have been worrying about the hair loss that I have heard so many people experience after surgery.  Reading that is starts about three months after surgery has put me right there since I am 12 weeks out today.  BUt because my weight loss has been slow - 44 lbs I am very hopeful that I will skip the hair loss.  And I know it grows back but I just wonder "how much will it be?"  I have a lot of hair so to lose some of it wouldn't really be detrimental.  But I guess it is just another "unknown".

Eating wise has been going really well - other than the fact that I am bored with meat and cheese.  I was such a carb eater that I could eat cereal and pasta for every meal.  So my new protein diet is taking it's toll on my taste buds.  I want bread and butter, spaghetti, lucky charms and cookies.  Ok, my head hunger has finally returned.  I should count my blessings that I got twelve weeks of minimal hunger.  Now I have to start working at this and redirect my food thoughts to gah! the ghastly exercise?  Say it ain't so!  But alas it is!  I need to focus on moving - and moving away from the pantry where the children's cookies are calling my name.  Thank goodness I dump so even though I want them I am not prepared to spend an hour miserable for the sake of a cookie.  Till next time...stay away from the crackers - they are not a substitute for the cookies!
