Craving Attention



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I am new to this site but, I really like it already.I am almost 16 months post opt and within pounds of my goal. I really feel great about myself and how far I have come. With that said, I must be honest....... I feel sexier and could really use some attention to feel vindicated. Its like its not real if no one seems to notice. When I say that I mean men....Of course people in my life have noticed and lots of things have changed.... all except this. Men NEVER flirt or come on to me :( Its sad. I know that I must make myself feel good and not depend on outsiders to make me feel valued/good/better/whole that's my job but, it would still be great to get noticed too. Does anyone else feel this way? Have others noticed more attention from men? Do you seek it out? What can I do to change this? Can't wait to hear from you all :)

You are so close to your goal I am sure you can taste it, you have done a awesome job so far. Start flirting, smile, be approachable, sometimes men are afraid to approach pretty women because they do not want to get turned down.... so send out the signals that you are intrested and approachable.

Thanks everyone...That is what I will do....Smile more and hope that people feel that I am approachable. It will feel great when I get some outside confirmation that things really have changed as much as I thought...

      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.
