No ones screaming my name

I wear a wedding ring, but for me I'd never flash my ring finger. I'd find it awkward. I don't mind the attention, at any weight. I like flirting. I love my wife and have no interest in ruining a great thing. Just flirt, you know you all want to.....

Was that flirting?? LMAO

Like the other posters have said, you just can't tell. Maybe cosmetic surgery might be an option down the track, who knows. It also depends on your circumstances as well. My wife, who is proportionate, has a patch of wrinkly skin on her abdomen from when she was pregnant with our twins. She's not interested in having surgery to fix it. She wears one piece swim suites and nobody really knows. It doesn't bother me, it's a symptom of having two beautiful healthy daughters and I really couldn't find my wife more attractive. I think loose skin from WLS is the same thing, depending on your circumstances. If there is any it is a symptom of all the hard work you've done. And what a great problem to have. It really is a first world problem when you think about it - "I've lost a terrific amount of weight, I'm now ridiculously healthy and look 10 years younger, but I have this loose skin, poor me!!" :) Good luck. Jump one hurdle at a time. The loose skin one is way down the road, if at all. Deano

Most people flirt. Sometimes it's with genuine intent. Often it's messing about. Take it as a compliment. You don't need to reciprocate. As for husbands being more attentive or 'all over you' I wouldn't think that it is necessarily jealousy based. I think it's perfectly normal that if your partner is all of a sudden in better shape, looking after themselves better, dressing better and with new found self confidence that it's going to push all the right buttons. I don't think it means they love you any more or less than before.

That's it Bucky. It won't stop people from being self destructive, if that's what they want to do.

Is it ok to have shards of pistachio brittle week 1??

You take the fundus outta everything. BY crap do you mean those Peanut Butter cup thingies??

Good luck tomorrow. Deano

Aww - it was only hijacked after it was answered :)

You're right. When I was 15 it'd probably be me covered in vomit with missing undies.

Actually. There was this time when I was 15 ..........

LOL - You shocker. I've slayed my share of dragons, but no 15 year olds covered in vomit!!

I'm impressed that I picked up on a 'subtle' hint. I've already pointed it out to my wife .......

She told us. She thought it was pretty funny

I've just upgraded you to 5 stars.

Yeah, her underwear was MIA as well .......... Classy.

I remember once on night work we had to transport a 15 year old girl home. She was blind drunk and had thrown up on herself. She was wearing a T Shirt that said "Fruity Lexia makes you Sexier"

That's gold!!!

Just remember they are little calorific bombs. Healthy but high in cals. I think even with a sleeve we have to be conscious of the amount we eat.

Like John said, everyone seems to have varied advice on this. I got told that on occasion it isn't an issue. But if I have a carbonated drink or a beer to have it out of a glass not a can or a bottle. DISCLAIMER: This is the advice I received and follow. I'm not recommending anyone else follow it. Please don't jump on me, or tell me I'll get a leak

That's awesome. Must be like, umm "spending time" with a new woman Would be a cool experience to share.

I'm 3 months out and like almonds and pistachios. I'll also have 5 or 6 walnuts halves crushed in my hand and sprinkled on natural yoghurt with a little bit of honey. Deano

Occupational hazard - good observation skills

Pretty cool eh? The good thing is, it isn't lying around it's gone for good. Not like the old days when the same 31lbs would sneak back and haunt you!! Good work, Deano
