I did it for both reasons as well. I completely agree that you need to be attracted to a person. They don't have to be the hottest thing since sliced bread but whatever attracts you to them has to be there. I've asked and you kinda end up getting this deer in headlights look and a bunch of stammering. They don't seem to have an answer. I don't hold it against anyone and I wouldn't end a friendship over it but I don't think I want to date you. Thanks for the input. Sent from my iPhone using VST

How do you feel about getting hit on after surgery? I'm not talking about people we're meeting for the first time. But people we've known and have had friendships or some kind of relationship with whether it be work or personal or whatever. The people that we are meeting for the first time didnt know us before so what's not to say that they wouldn't have been hitting on us before. But someone we've known, all of a sudden you wanna take me out? 90 pounds ago I wasn't good enough to take out? I'm not sure how I feel about this. My personality is the same at a size 16 as it was when I was a size 24. Has anyone else encountered this? How do you feel about it and handle it? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was getting dressed today and bent down to tie my sneakers. Legs perfectly straight. Bent over and tied my shoes. Didn't squat. Didn't bend my knees. Not sitting on the bed. Just bent over. Leaned a little further. I can almost put my palms flat in the floor. Not yet. But almost. With my legs straight. Made me realize that last night when I was out, I bent over the same way to pick up the darts I dropped. It the little things in life. Happy Saturday! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Today is 3 months since i had my surgery and as of this morning I am down 80 pounds. I used to wear a size 24 tall and now I have on a size 18 which is a little loose. My shirts are a 1/2. Can even get away with an extrA large from some places. I blame that on the girls. Lol. I think I still have fat eyes tho. Lol. I try to see the new me but sometimes I still see the old me. It's getting better as the days go on. I think because it happened so fast I haven't completely caught up. Some days when the scale doesn't move I get this overwhelming fear that it has stopped and that's it. Makes me wonder sometimes how I passed the psych exam. Lol. I'm so happy and the ony thig I regret is not having done this sooner. First picture is day of. Then in between days and the last picture was yesterday. Never in my life would I have worn a fitted tank top with a short sweater. I have a shape and it's not round. I have a waist. Why didn't I get one sooner? As a friend pointed out to me yesterday, "look at that hour glass shape!". I couldn't be happier and I wish you all the same happiness and luck that I've had so far. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I Cleaned out my closet yesterday. It's very sad and empty looking now. I hope it gets full again soon. While cleaning out my closet, I of course tried everything on. I took pics in clothes that I had pictures of myself in when I was heavier. Finally, I can see a difference. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. The black dress is may 2010 and yesterday. And the pink and black is almost exactly one year. My bday August 2011 and yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using VST
