Getting noticed



Recommended Posts

I have been told (by my wife) that I oblivious when ladies hit on me. Let me tell you, I have lost 65 lbs. and I can tell the ladies are hitting on me. I have been getting smiles from ladies everywhere I go these days. Some of the girls at Starbucks even make sure I get the sugar free low fat latte so they can "see me looking even better. The only thing that bothers me is that my wife just had her band surgery. Now guys are going to be hitting on her!:thumbup: I'm gonna have to hit the gym. :thumbup:

DH and I discussed this - but only because I saw this thread and asked him. He said he noticed men eyeing me etc (how anyone can detect a shape under down-filled jackets etc is beyond me though:rolleyes:). Anyway, I was completely unaware of the looks, smiles, subtle come on's when he isn't around me in a store etc..I still am. DH says that as long as he has known me (and confirmed by my ex - I just had to ask to confirm) I never have been aware of appreciative looks etc. I just think everyone is friendly and talks to strangers - I do!

I still have a ways to go yet in weight loss....maybe my awareness of other people's attention will come with that!

THERE IS A DOWNSIDE TO THIS!! While it is flattering to get positive attention, sometimes the attention is not so positive. I recieved an anonymous email this week from a "secret admirer" that was very off color. Almost like a what a stalker would write. It was creepy and gross. He went into detail about writing my name on his body, and him wanting to guess who he is. He wants me to come to him.... Ha! Not in this century!!! It was very unnerving, and if I hear from him again, I'm going to report it.

That is very alarming. I would make sure to trusted family and friends just in case something weider happens. Foward the e-mails to other people, so that everyone knows there is someone stalking you. That is just very creepy.

Yes I get hit on all the time now ...even while buying a ept test at walmart...classy..

Having seen your recent pics, who could blame them? Now, while buying an ept test may be pushing the limits of good taste, I'll admit. But, that is assuming any man has common sense around hot women.;)

I bet that a big part of this (not that you ladies don't look great) is everyone's improved confidence. Everyone that is losing weight and feeling better about themselves is probably putting out completely different vibes than when you were unhappy with where you were.

That's just a thought though ;)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
