NSV: I've recently started dating again and It's been an entirely different experience for me. I've always dated men who were older than me by a minimum of 5 years and biggest gap 13 years. Nowadays I get approached by soooo many younger guys and I'm not talking 2 years younger. I'm talking WAY younger! It's like the older ones are scared to approach me or something.

I went to a bar in Denton, Texas (college town) and these adorable college kids were hitting on me and thought I was 21!!! When I told them I was a 33 year old divorcee and MOTHER of an 8 year old boy their jaws dropped right before they exclaimed almost in unison, "HOT MILF!" I know it's silly but that was the most exhilarating experience in life! I felt so alive, young and vibrant. I mean ME? HOT? 21? I just can't wrap my head around it.

Wow! So weird. I'm not sure how or why that picture is attached to my thread. I didn't attach it nor do I know who's picture it is. Congrats to whoever the beauty is though. Excellent progress!

Hehe congratulations. I hear ya. Great feeling

When I went out for the first time, all dressed up with my man, I made friends with this girl who came and chatted throughout the course of the evening whilst in this pub/club. On discussion, I asked how old she was. Young. 24. She replied, 'but you're about the same age as me though, right? What? 26/27?'

I am not that way inclined, but I could have snogged her! :D

RIGHT ON! Congrats to you! It's amazing. I just can't get used to this newfound attention. I've always been the witty fun chick. Not the HOTTIE of the group.

Awesome stories, guys.

About a month after surgery, someone told me I was looking younger (this person didn't know I had VSG). I looked back at some of my pics and I do look much younger - my face isn't bloated and that sickly gray color. My make-up enhances rather than tries to disguise the dark circles under my eyes.

Yesterday I got another compliment from someone I haven't seen in a couple of months - she said, "You look fantastic!" It felt good. I replied, "I feel fantastic!"

Yeah I have no idea how that got attached. It's not even a pic in my phone. Lol.

Thanks for your compliments. I'm trying to get right.

      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.
