I feel attractive again



Recommended Posts

I got all dressed up the other night to go to a xmas party and men at the party were flirting with me. It felt great. I have been invisible for the last three years at least. At least that is how i felt. Now i feel attractive again. I may be 54, but i am still very much alive, and now i feel that way. I am so..... glad i got this band. Who knows i might even start dating again. Never too late!!! Donna

Good for you...it feels great getting attention, doesn't it? My husband bought me a robe and a coat for Christmas that I have to take back because they are too big. He said..."I didn't realize that you were shrinking that much". It's kind of funny...he seems me everyday so I don't think that he realizes, but others see me and are amazed. I love my band. I love losing weight and I love the attention...I think that you should head back into the dating world...why not????

You were always attractive....It is the fact that you feel it again that draws the attention!!! So much of this is the way we feel about ourselves! Good for you, you should date and have fun....you worked hard for this, you might as well enjoy it!!!!!

Excellent Donna! Of course you can start dating again. You don't have to worry about raising small children... It's all about you! Have fun!

That is such a great feeling and I can relate. I went to a graduation party a month ago, and men were flirting with me, in fact there was one doctor who was at the hospital at the time of my surgery and I remember seing him.... we are dating now, and it feels so great!!!!!!

DonHoll1- It is so nice to noticed again by the opposite sex, isn't it? Even old married gals like me appreciate compliments and flirting. It keeps us young.

I went to California in September to visit my nephew and my Mom and I went to his school and talked to his principal about his studies, etc. We talked for over two hours to this man (he was around my age) and at one point he asked what I did and I made some comment on my job and I said something like "Well, in my line of work you have to be something-or-other..." and he looked at me and smiled and said, "....and beautiful too!" and I tell you I nearly fell out of my chair!!!! (Damn, Mom didn't have her ears in and missed the comment!) Talk about an ego boost! I wish everyone realized what a boost little comments can make in a person's life! I think that's one that is going to stick with me for years!

      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.
