  1. I think all of our hotter now or on our way to being super hot(based on some of the pics I've seen). I'm sure all of our spouses or significant others think we are hot even when we don't think we are. Whether we relish the attention or do not acknowledge it, I think we may all need to get used to getting more attention. How we deal with it is another story. My wife also has a platinum eternity band with huge diamonds and she is constantly getting hit on and tells men she is happily married or ignores them, but then she has always been super hot ( I lucked out). I, on the other hand have not had those experiences.
  2. Did you feel uncomfortable and what did your husband think of the attention you were getting?
  3. What a transformation. You look great.

    Not at goal one year out

    You've lost a ton of weight and are very close to your goal. Hang in there and don't be so hard on yourself.
  5. Congrats to you and welcome to the post-op community.

    Great job. You look great. Keep up the good work.
  8. As said by a few others this is going to be a lifelong journey. I had 18 months of fighting with Aetna to get approved and had time to deal with my relationship with food. I went past the one required one psych visit and spent months talking about the changes I needed to make and how my life would change as a result of wls surgery. I knew that the days of finishing everything on my plate when I went out to eat were over and good riddance. I did not binge eat and have multiple slices of pizza or large quantities of other fattening foods. My wife and I traveled the world extensively for business and pleasure, and ate at Michelin starred restaurants from of the best chefs in the world. My wife is thin and never gained more than 20 pounds which she quickly lost, but I gained more and did not lose. I have lost and gained 50-100lbs many times through exercise and diet but always gained it back, due to work schedules or injury. I implore all waiting for approval or scheduled for surgery to deal with your respective food issues. Yes, surgery is scary but this one can save your life. I have had several surgeries in the last 6 years and am facing yet another, and get nervous each time but do it because it is necessary. Have the surgery for yourself and for your family or significant other. I cheated my wife and family out of several experiences in the Caribbean and other places because I was so heavy and she didn't want me to be uncomfortable. Do your research so you know all you need to about the surgery and make sure you have the best surgeon possible. I am now 6 months post-op and at age 52 and 86lbs lighter. My wife and I are now doing things that we could never imagine before. I still have a bit to lose, but I am well on my way. Now, I need to find a way to stop my wife for shopping for me now that I can fit in regular size clothes. No matter what you decide I wish you well and good luck on your respective journeys.

    SEX!

    Hey guys! Get a room. Lol. I guess I should have expected that from a thread about sex.

    Good for you. Congrats.
  12. Thank you for sharing. Good luck on your journey.
  13. I never thought of doing so. Nothing against anyone who has but it seems a bit weird to me.
  14. I usually get in 70-80 ounces of water daily. I try to get in 44oz in the morning which helps me meet my minimum. Getting in your water helps to flush the system, especially when we have a tendency to retain fluids and sodium which works counteractive to weight loss.
