Getting noticed



Recommended Posts

I have been told (by my wife) that I oblivious when ladies hit on me. Let me tell you, I have lost 65 lbs. and I can tell the ladies are hitting on me. I have been getting smiles from ladies everywhere I go these days. Some of the girls at Starbucks even make sure I get the sugar free low fat latte so they can "see me looking even better. The only thing that bothers me is that my wife just had her band surgery. Now guys are going to be hitting on her!:thumbup: I'm gonna have to hit the gym. :thumbup:

DH and I discussed this - but only because I saw this thread and asked him. He said he noticed men eyeing me etc (how anyone can detect a shape under down-filled jackets etc is beyond me though:rolleyes:). Anyway, I was completely unaware of the looks, smiles, subtle come on's when he isn't around me in a store etc..I still am. DH says that as long as he has known me (and confirmed by my ex - I just had to ask to confirm) I never have been aware of appreciative looks etc. I just think everyone is friendly and talks to strangers - I do!

I still have a ways to go yet in weight loss....maybe my awareness of other people's attention will come with that!

THERE IS A DOWNSIDE TO THIS!! While it is flattering to get positive attention, sometimes the attention is not so positive. I recieved an anonymous email this week from a "secret admirer" that was very off color. Almost like a what a stalker would write. It was creepy and gross. He went into detail about writing my name on his body, and him wanting to guess who he is. He wants me to come to him.... Ha! Not in this century!!! It was very unnerving, and if I hear from him again, I'm going to report it.

That is very alarming. I would make sure to trusted family and friends just in case something weider happens. Foward the e-mails to other people, so that everyone knows there is someone stalking you. That is just very creepy.

Yes I get hit on all the time now ...even while buying a ept test at walmart...classy..

Having seen your recent pics, who could blame them? Now, while buying an ept test may be pushing the limits of good taste, I'll admit. But, that is assuming any man has common sense around hot women.;)

I bet that a big part of this (not that you ladies don't look great) is everyone's improved confidence. Everyone that is losing weight and feeling better about themselves is probably putting out completely different vibes than when you were unhappy with where you were.

That's just a thought though ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
