the rumors are TRUE!
Hello everyone!
Yeah, it is me...long lost weird one from Amarillo. Today I had a chance to post for the first time in I can't remember when. I do try to check on you all every once in a while and all of you seem to doing so very well. I will never forget how compassionate the OMB has been to me....and to each other. 
If you hadn't heard this WLS stuff with definitely change your life. Every day I am continually amazed the changes in my body.
I am having to deal with some demons that my armor of body fat keep at bay. You can read into that if you wish .....I am partying way way too much and not exercising as I should....too many invitations to events and parties are coming all the time. 
The urge to eat when I have emotions that I am not coping with well is still with me everyday. I am almost NEVER hungry but dealing with emotions and not using food is a not easy for me. I keep telling myself at least I am aware of it and no longer in denial.
For the most part my friends and family have been very supportive and happy for me and for that I am very grateful.
The changes in my head are more difficult to deal with.
I still go the the plus sized departments even though I am a 14/16. I still check out a chair before I sit in it if the thing looks to flimsy to hold me. I still think I have to walk around someone or wait till a path clears and not slide by someone in a very crowded room. Some of the recent pictures I see of myself I can't really see the 77 lbs. weight loss and I really don't like it when someone comes at me with a camera. But all those things are slowly fading into the past.
Shopping is my new favorite hobby. I can't spend too much but it is so much easier to find something to wear. Read into that...love sexy shoes and lingerie!!! I am so bad!
This hair loss is really starting to worry me. I know, many of us go through this but dang it!!! I don't want to be a a size 12 bald lady!!! The flip side is I like my shorter hair and most of my friends say that it looks good on me.
I think I have gone on long enough now. I just wanted to say "Hello!" again. Hope your holidays are filled with fun and laughter. I will try to post more soon..
love u you all

Great to hear from you!!! You're weight loss is awesome and you're not alone in the demons you are fighting. One of these days our heads will catch up with our bodies!!! This is an awesome group of friends we have on the OMB. I don't think there is a topic that can't be discussed and not get flamed.
I too suffered the evil hair loss. It started about 4 months out and I am so EXCITED to announce that it's back, healthy and coming in thick again....at least as much as it was. I'm now 8 1/2 months out and it stopped falling out about 1 1/2 months or 2 months ago or so. I've never seen a bald lady at our support group so I don't think you have to worry about going bald!!! I worried about that too. This too shall pass. Have a great week and thanks for posting!!

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
I think you sound a lot like I did when I was a fairly new post-op... I lost a lot of weight early on. I couldn't see it either. I didn't like the hair loss and I didn't like cameras coming at me either. But on the flip side, I think you look amazing and you've done a WONDERFUL job. I've missed seeing your posts.
