Hey everyone everyday is a Win..in the baratric world we know everyday we have to either get fluids in, eat enough protein etc, ...what is your win for today? My Win is being consistent on my bariatric journey and movement, I have made it a goal to move almost daily!

I would say that I've always been easy on the eyes I'm not sure why people feel uncomfortable saying they are attractive. Im a very blunt person. I noticed when I was much larger even with being easy on the eyes the MALE gaze was not as strong as it is now. Sometimes the Male Gaze was none-existent to be honest. The old me (date 5 and break all 5 hearts) wants to resurface. It astounds me now how men will literally make a 360 in a store, gas station, they could even be with a significant other. Where was this male gaze when I was hitting 313 pounds? What does this say about men and what they presume as attractive? How does your current spouses/boyfriends feel about your weight loss? Any breakups?

@Lilia_90 I love that!! I made a chocolate avocado mousse yesterday. We had the same taste buds goin! Deliciousness!

Looks good! I feel you! I eat all the time too but it's very important to eat meals. I work out a lot and have to eat! My body is always like HELLO time to eat! I'm kinda on a schedule. So far it has worked for me eating frequently. Weight loss is still consistent about 2 to 2.5 pounds per week. I also stick to FULL fats keeps me fuller longer! P.S also because the food noise/cravings are gone sometimes I eat like a body builder the same S!#t everyday 😂

Do not know how to explain this I am a side sleeper fetal position like. My knees can now touch each other feels thin and bony they are rubbing together and it annoys be. When larger I did not feel this 😂

@Lilia_90 That is an awesome win! Love that! Movement is so important, glad you are able too.

@BabySpoonsim glad you have a none jealous MAN! That's refreshing! Yes the looks are a trip!

It's so good to have the bariatric community ...a group of "your people" who get it! This is a forever journey with many struggles. 😌

Today I'm Tired of "bariatricing" today..,don't feel like eating, getting in protein, or fluids. Just tired

I appreciate this post greatly! It gives great and deeper insight from the Male perspective ! Thanks!

Thanks for this view, relationship dynamics after WLS interest me. Some in the community have divorced and or broke up due to insecurities present, some are going strong. I hope that your fella reaches his health goals as well! Tell him you're ready to swing from the ceiling in the bedroom 😂😂. Tell him he needs to match your drive ha.

@Chatterboxdea when I was newly post op someone in the bariatric community told me to keep some old cloths! I am so glad I did. When you've been obese for so long your mind plays tricks with you. Psychologically I think I have not came far but when I put on old cloths it is a testament. I also have to take many before and after photos.

Win: I'm 7 months post op today. Im reflecting and saying to myself GIRL YOU DID THE WORK! The WORK is REAllY hard, but the benefit outweighs the hard work. Unfortunately, with the disease of obesity the work is continuous, but Feeling great in my clothing, the ability to have more energy, more movement, and no longer having to take diabetes medicine are all major wins. Today I will embark upon a new journey now that I'm about 20 plus pounds from goal weight, I have invested in my health (a very easy on the eyes 😂😂personal trainer who will work on lifting these glutes and tighten the thighs) time to put in more work 🤘🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽#bariatricwins

This is a thread I started about the MALE GAZE and the bariatric experience, a question was asked about a Female Gaze and it was answered. Public forum or not if one is asked about their experience with the female species and it's answered then it is what it is. I welcome all responses but it won't be a continuum back and forth. I'm already bored 😂😂😂. "You just say that word "Women" and I'm already yawning (women don't REV up my nether regions 😂)....back to the MALE GAZE. Now MEN I can talk about them all day! I think I'm going to put on a small dress and go get some MALE GAZES 😂😂😂. Reading some of these post it looks like I will have to get used to the MALE GAZE. So therefore I will go have a little fun. I will have to not be as pissed.

@ms.sss that looks so good! I'm such a foodie ha!

This was informative !

@BlondePatriotInCDA TRUST ME! I Get it 100%. Like word for word!

@GreenTealaelAs far as interactions with my fellow female associates, I can't call them friends, I have strategically stayed away from them. Im a big MAN person love males. I've never invested much time with women. I've always had issues with jealousy. I can't help the powers that be took a little extra time with me. On the polar opposite side I attract ALL women 😩😩😩. An oxy. I don't care how they feel to be honest 😂. There is an insecurity present, that I can't help them with. So it is what it is. Sorry I'm kind of mean ha.

@GreenTealael This is the recipe for the chocolate that goes in your Peanut Butter cup molds. I do not use honey..I use a sugar substitute personal preference. The filling I do homemade unsalted cashew butter in my ninja or homemade unsaltedpeanut butter in my ninja for the filling. You can play around with it. https://healthyrecipesblogs.com/homemade-chocolate/

I never In my life heard the Words Cottage Cheese used so much until I entered the Bariatric community. MY GOSH cottage cheese never was what I called a tasty cheesy treat lol. As time went on I see that cottage cheese packs a lot of protein and I have slowly started to enjoy whole Milk cottage cheese. How do you use cottage cheese? What are your recipes? Do you even like cottage cheese? lol it is an aquired taste for sure 😂😂

My sweet tooth is still alive and well..I guess that's why I never had issues with the protein shakes during this journey. Today I am making a bariatric friendly homemade peanut butter cup/cashew butter cup. So good!

@ms.sss Good views I feel that! So glad you have a healthy SEX life! Once I get these titties the sexual beast will be untamed 😂. That extra heaviness can hold some back in the bed room. That's another one of my favorite topics. 😂. Yep I get it though

Thanks chic! This is the encouragement I needed! I'm definitely going to listen to your advice!

@AmberFLI understand those boobies will attract attention! It's okay he will have to be strong lol! I am glad you and your man is going strong relationship wise, I wish I would have meet someone when I was a bit larger, I think I might would have appreciated them more. Now I'm just pissed and trying not to fall back into old hurtful heartbreaker habits, as I'm mad as hell that all of sudden the dating prospects have increased whoooo hooo 🙄🙄🙄. Then again I try to look at it from a none biased prospective. Can I really get mad at the male for wanting that slim waist/ fit chic 😂.
