I feel attractive again



Recommended Posts

I got all dressed up the other night to go to a xmas party and men at the party were flirting with me. It felt great. I have been invisible for the last three years at least. At least that is how i felt. Now i feel attractive again. I may be 54, but i am still very much alive, and now i feel that way. I am so..... glad i got this band. Who knows i might even start dating again. Never too late!!! Donna

Good for you...it feels great getting attention, doesn't it? My husband bought me a robe and a coat for Christmas that I have to take back because they are too big. He said..."I didn't realize that you were shrinking that much". It's kind of funny...he seems me everyday so I don't think that he realizes, but others see me and are amazed. I love my band. I love losing weight and I love the attention...I think that you should head back into the dating world...why not????

You were always attractive....It is the fact that you feel it again that draws the attention!!! So much of this is the way we feel about ourselves! Good for you, you should date and have fun....you worked hard for this, you might as well enjoy it!!!!!

Excellent Donna! Of course you can start dating again. You don't have to worry about raising small children... It's all about you! Have fun!

That is such a great feeling and I can relate. I went to a graduation party a month ago, and men were flirting with me, in fact there was one doctor who was at the hospital at the time of my surgery and I remember seing him.... we are dating now, and it feels so great!!!!!!

DonHoll1- It is so nice to noticed again by the opposite sex, isn't it? Even old married gals like me appreciate compliments and flirting. It keeps us young.

I went to California in September to visit my nephew and my Mom and I went to his school and talked to his principal about his studies, etc. We talked for over two hours to this man (he was around my age) and at one point he asked what I did and I made some comment on my job and I said something like "Well, in my line of work you have to be something-or-other..." and he looked at me and smiled and said, "....and beautiful too!" and I tell you I nearly fell out of my chair!!!! (Damn, Mom didn't have her ears in and missed the comment!) Talk about an ego boost! I wish everyone realized what a boost little comments can make in a person's life! I think that's one that is going to stick with me for years!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
