Got naked, nobody died of shame...



Recommended Posts

Hi all, thought I would give you a wee update on my post...

The Naked Hottie is no more but that's ok. He still has a very important place in my new post-sleeve life...

I have been out on a few dates since, but yet to find someone special. But the big news is that I have increasingly become like catnip to younger men! Yes, I am now normal sized, so I dress better. And I like myself, so there's a positive vibe coming from me.

But apparently, according to the one who's pursued me for the last few months (ex model cutie), it's my attitude that's doing it - I am fun, interesting and full of life. Who'd have thought it ha ha ha!!! Flattering as it is, I am still resisting as there's younger than me -and there's waaaaaaaay too young.

But the smile on my face says it all.... :-))))))

This is still one of my all time favorite threads! More so now that I've experienced the skin changes that 97 pounds can bring. It's humbling, but I feel too good to worry. I have always been inspired by you!

Thanks! It's the greatest thing about this site - I was inspired by the honesty of those who were using the site when I joined. Just returning the compliment by being honest in the same way they were as what they said helped me a lot... And it seems to help others.

Keep doing what you're doing, well done!

Congrats! I know my wife is happier with some wrinkly skin on my torso than tight skin over a beach ball. There's more to attraction that just skin tightness and size matters!!! Smaller saggier boobs on a healthier (and happier) you is probably far more appealing than jumbo boobs that come with a jumbo tummy and thighs. Glad you're enjoying the benefits of your hard work, courage and dedication to get to where you are today.

What's really cool is dating someone who things your body with all it's curves and rolls. He didn't want me to get the surgery. I loved walking in public with him and felt beautiful. Re: Sagging Skin. Can,'t you do exercises for that. I was told to use weights after surgery.

Indigo1991. Why can't you just have fun. It might be serious. I was dating someone who was 52 and wanted to "Hang Out". I want to " Date" Seriously. I quickly dumped him.

Although I am younger, I completely get you! So happy for you. I am

Sleeved and it's so weird to be okay with walking around my husband naked. And I'm 28. Weight and babies make things look different.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
