Nah, he's safe. He doesn't have the beard that seems to bring the boys to my yard.

When I had the beard, and was 300lb I was hit on by 3 dudes in a 2 year time period..2 times in the gym locker room...Once at a Dunkin Doughnuts.....Felt a bit empowering actually.

And as far as I can tell, 29 is the youngest woman that has flirted with me.

19 years old for me....Young lady that works my gym's front desk, she was making me a shake and threw not 1 but 3 separate compliments. We were chatting about weight loss and I showed her a before and after picture of the weight loss, 1)"wow you look better than guys my age, wow", After some more small talk, randomly says #2) "you do look really good, wow." and after I brought up my graying stubble and my age, #3) "I like it, it works on you, you look very distinguished"..... She was also trolling for my instagram handle, but that wasnt happening.

Then 23 years old last week... I sitting having a drink at the bar while on break from my poker session, 2 girls that were sitting next to me and I could tell they were talking about me in spanish and looking in my direction, then one finally asks me "excuse me, are you a lawyer?"...LOL.(second time I got that in a week by the way).. i make some polite small talk, turns out shes 23, I tell her im just taking a break from playing poker, ect ect..She says "what does your girlfriend think about you playing poker"?......Yup, she's hitting on me...lol My reply, "my girlfriends(yes plural) dont mind at all, but sometimes my wife gets a bit fickle about it.".....You should have seen her face, hahah..So I explain to her it was a joke, some more small talk then I excuse myself to finish my poker session.

The new found attention feels pretty good, sometimes you need the boost to your confidence to keep you motivated.

@jenn1 You look so amazing!!! Hey, did you have hip problems (bursitis/arthritis), or back probs at your heaviest? If so, do you have any pain now--especially with the work-outs and running?

Thanks!! ((hugs))

The young women are not creepy about it, just blunt and forward. The women my age or older make me very uncomfortable. A confident woman is sexy, a woman who looks at you like a predator looks at prey? Uncomfortable. I've had my wife or kids come save me when a woman in the neighborhood comes around.

It depends on how creepy..lol I will say that the older the gal is, the more inappropriate and sexually charged the comments will be...lol. Like women over 45 that have made comments have made some really raunchy ones...the young girls are just super forward and flirty these days. I get some eyes and smiles from a few younger gals in the gym but they seem to be more shy, the older ladies at the gym will literally give me elevator eyes and look me up and down with zero discretion..

The few dudes that hit on me were WAAAAAAY more creepy than any woman.. The 2 in thegym locker room really creeped me out..

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
