Got naked, nobody died of shame...



Recommended Posts

Hi all, thought I would give you a wee update on my post...

The Naked Hottie is no more but that's ok. He still has a very important place in my new post-sleeve life...

I have been out on a few dates since, but yet to find someone special. But the big news is that I have increasingly become like catnip to younger men! Yes, I am now normal sized, so I dress better. And I like myself, so there's a positive vibe coming from me.

But apparently, according to the one who's pursued me for the last few months (ex model cutie), it's my attitude that's doing it - I am fun, interesting and full of life. Who'd have thought it ha ha ha!!! Flattering as it is, I am still resisting as there's younger than me -and there's waaaaaaaay too young.

But the smile on my face says it all.... :-))))))

This is still one of my all time favorite threads! More so now that I've experienced the skin changes that 97 pounds can bring. It's humbling, but I feel too good to worry. I have always been inspired by you!

Thanks! It's the greatest thing about this site - I was inspired by the honesty of those who were using the site when I joined. Just returning the compliment by being honest in the same way they were as what they said helped me a lot... And it seems to help others.

Keep doing what you're doing, well done!

Congrats! I know my wife is happier with some wrinkly skin on my torso than tight skin over a beach ball. There's more to attraction that just skin tightness and size matters!!! Smaller saggier boobs on a healthier (and happier) you is probably far more appealing than jumbo boobs that come with a jumbo tummy and thighs. Glad you're enjoying the benefits of your hard work, courage and dedication to get to where you are today.

What's really cool is dating someone who things your body with all it's curves and rolls. He didn't want me to get the surgery. I loved walking in public with him and felt beautiful. Re: Sagging Skin. Can,'t you do exercises for that. I was told to use weights after surgery.

Indigo1991. Why can't you just have fun. It might be serious. I was dating someone who was 52 and wanted to "Hang Out". I want to " Date" Seriously. I quickly dumped him.

Although I am younger, I completely get you! So happy for you. I am

Sleeved and it's so weird to be okay with walking around my husband naked. And I'm 28. Weight and babies make things look different.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
