DEALING WITH ATTENTION



Recommended Posts

I get attention now at almost 300 lbs. I've always had a flirty personality. But everyone knows I'm crazy in love with my hubby of 19 years. So I feel I can take any additional attention with a grain of sand. My hubby asked me what I was gonna say when men started flirting with me more. I told him same thing I say now. I'm gonna break out singing "Dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me. " Lol

I'm a middle aged widow of almost two years now and wouldn't know where to begin with flirting.

My figure finally started to come back with 62 lbs gone and I have 30 lbs to go to get to my doctor's goal for me. I do look younger than my age, but probably not as much as before since the more I lose the more wrinkles emerge.

I've gotten a little bit of attention lately from men my age and much younger men. It really makes me feel uncomfortable. I have no idea how to respond so I pretend I don't notice it. Not sure if this will ever change or not for me.

my boyfriend is super jealous, way before I even had the surgury, now its just worse. He thinks im cheatin or something. When I was big, I've always been friendly and love to laugh and smile, but I dont think he can handle it now that im smaller. I will admit, its partly my fault because I do love attention, but at the same time, Im young and Im a natural show off. If Im going to go out u better believe im goin to rock some nice heels and a nice dress. Few months ago my feet was too wide for nice shoes and my body was too large for those sexy dresses!!!!! :(....but now, I get to look how I've always wanted to look :) I cant let someone take that away from me...If he would just go to parties with me maybe he wouldnt have to worry about whose looking at me...Were on a break right now bc all we do is argue and I cant deal with his insecurities right now...We both have to work on ourselves

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
