Beevis and Butthead moment here: teeheehheee 'he'd punch him in the face' hehehe that just cracks me up for some reason.

Aside from that part though, that guy sounds like a real tool. YUCK.

I hope I dont get too pissy about it cuz it seems perfectly natural to me to be more attracted..

I think there's a facet of this that has been overlooked! I don't think the guys are all shallow and just attracted because of size; I think that as we lose weight we become so much more confident.......we carry ourselves differently and tend to make eye contact and maybe even smile more!! Perhaps THIS is what attracts the attention from some guys!! Thank goodness I don't have to worry about.....I'm lucky to have a hubby who loves me no matter what (I think!)!! Hang in there!!

I didn't have to go through this, but I would think that I would feel flattered, but I would never date one of them. If I wasn't good enough for them before, then they can eat dirt now. My husband accepted me for the person I was, not for what I looked like. Now he is very supportive of my decision, but doesn't think it was necessary as far as what I looked like. He does understand however, that my health and my grandchildren were and are my primary decision maker. Oh, and I forgot to mention, my husband knew me for many years and we dated when I was younger and smaller. He didn't care how much I changed over the years. He loved me for me. That's what you want.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
