New Wedding New Hair

Last week, I was so fortunate to be in my roomie's wedding. We lived together from 2003-2006. When I say she was my perfect roommate, it's an understatement. If we ever are single again at the same time, I'm moving to her location because she's so awesome. Last year, she met her match and they saved their first kiss for their wedding...so stinkin cute!

When she asked me to be in her wedding, she knew I was doing surgery and said no biggie for the dress. She gave us a color and told us we could get whatever style we wanted. I ordered a size 24 dress with a slightly mesh top and it was too big. Yes that's a good thing but oh no...wedding in 3 weeks. The next size down only had 3 options in a size 22 in stock in my color. When it came in, bra options were going to be a struggle. Mom saved the say!

This weekend, my sister in law got married. Back to back weddings meant multiple fancy dresses. I was able to wear the same outfits for rehearsal dinners and for weddings but I decided to change it up a bit by cutting my hair.

Hair loss tends to occur around 3 months after weight loss surgery. This was no different for me. My hair has always been on the finer, thinner side. It's now just more thin. I've also always had no attachment to my hair. If I want it short, I cut it short. Hair grows back, the DS life is no exception. It might be thinner, it might be weaker but it'll grow back for the most part. The key to regrowth is maintaining adequate protein and vitamin intake.  It's recommended to consume at least 80g of protein daily.

To be fair though, I'll take a little hair loss for the happiness I had at these weddings. I felt so thin!
