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.

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..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
