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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
