NSV that Ladies My Age can probably understand



Recommended Posts

I am in my late 40s, lost 130+ pounds over the last year and a really nice looking man hit on me yesterday. He was probably a couple of years younger then me, but in my age range for sure. I had to restrain myself from thanking him and giving him a kiss before sending him on his way... I did restrain myself but it made my day and then some! I was dressed conservatively, but smartly (nice black jeans, a calvin klein fitted jacket (thank you ross for less) and nice boots. It is not that I am dying to be hit on, it is more like I spent the rest of that day feeling really confident - like the way i looked, my demeanor attracted a person I considered desirable - like maybe for the first time in a very long time I am projecting the image of myself I want to project.

Woo hoo you go cowgirl LOL

I totally understand how flattering that would be. I'm deeply in love and committed to my marriage, but I do remember the days when I'd get hit on more often and I miss the confidence that gives you :) I think I'd be sky high LOL

AmyTug, I am not yet at goal but I am posting a few photos. I have had two people tell me that photos don't do me justice which was a nice compliment but what I think they REALLY meant was that I am obviously self conscious and don't stand proud in photos yet...

Guys will understand this too.

Being an "official old man" I have to say that when WE do this to a younger lady we all get laughed at or branded a dirty old man :)

Okay, just to be clear - he initiated conversation and gently touched my hair - I wasn't the dirty old woman here...lol.

My point really was that when you are noticed by someone that you find interesting, it feels like a compliment. As opposed to recently my friend and i walking down the street being followed by a man who bore a remarkable resemblance to Santa Clause - he was barking at us... who we soon noticed was missing pants (those were boxer shorts, not really shorts!) and was staggering drunk. THAT was NOT a compliment.

See the difference? LOL

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
