Yes, yes, yes!! I didn't talk much in front of others now I enjoy speaking and sharing with others and they listen!!! I'm more flirty, dressing more sexy and feeling sexy as well! Definately more confident - actually I kinda lost a friend cause I spoke up to her and she didn't like and was taking as rudeness but I wasn't rude just speaking up and she wanted me to not only apologize but do it "humbly" in her opinion..and I haven't - cause I don't feel I did anything wrong and she can't accept it - I don't need her! Im sad about it but I'm not gonna sweat it - I accepted alot of bad behavior from her and won't do it anymore. I still need to be more assertive but I'm working my way there. I also want to work in the medical field so my goals have also changed. It has changed my lifestyle. I'm trying to get used to having people compliment me without being suspicious or skeptical about it..but I'm coming around. Then there are the emotional issues - but that's another topic!! LOL...

ROCK ON! You hit the nail on the head with your response, Girlie! I have always been assertive, but now I get listened to more than before. I can get up at manager's meeting and speak where as before, I avoided that at all cost. I am considering a change in careers or going back to school for something completely different or at the very least, seeking out a new challenge at my current job. I flirt better than before and love that I get flirts back. I have finally gotten over the skeptical phase in regards to compliments, but that took some therapy so I know exactly how you feel . I feel confident, sexy and even downright ****y at times! I never anticipated WLS would also be a bit of a headgame, but it is. I think the biggest thing in that aspect is allowing my brain to catch up with the weightloss and seeing myself as a thinner person after many years of being able to hide under my layers of fat. One other big change for me is that I can choose the men I want to date versus settling for men who didn't mind I was a cute fat chick. Life is good ...
