Did you do something different with your hair?

I'm attending my company's global HR conference this week. Our last conference was a month before my WLS. I haven't seen many of the HR team since the last conference. I can't tell you how many times people have asked me if I've done something different with my hair. No, I've lost 95 pounds. My hair is the same. My face has changed. It has given me a chuckle.

It is amazing. That is exactly what folks tell me all the time. Yes, I have done something different with my hair, I put it around a much slimmer face and on top of a much slimmer body. Actually, now, it is much shorter too but it wasn't when that was going on.

LOL!!! I've had the same reaction, most notably, from the dental hygienist. I had lost about 70 lbs at the time, and she asked me, if I had cut my hair. Someone else, commented on how big my eyes were. It does give one a chuckle. Good for you, Kay.

One of the MEN in my support group said people ask him that! Now when people ask me if I did something different with my hair, I just tell them, "No but I lost 43 lbs including my extra chin!" I think it is funny.

I only got that from one of my Nephews and I wasn't sure how to respond without laughing.

That is funny!! Maybe they think they need to say something and don't want to get too personal. People are so funny sometimes.

The same thing has happened to me! As long as they really like the new haircut, I'm okay!

That is awesome congrats on the new haircut LOL!! That is so funny, though no one has asked me that yet I guess people in philly are bred much more blunt and forward because I have had everyone flat out ask me "How did you drop all that weight?!" "wow what are you doing ?!" "You look so so much healthier?" and I think to myself wow I really mustve been an enormous monster pre-op. LOL I just smile and say Ive been doing a whole lot because the negativity I receive when I tell people about the surgery is ridiculous. I'm on my way to getting healthy and further away from diabetes and thats all I need for me.
