So I am a little under 3 months out and I have noticed people noticing me more than before. I have not changed at all (to me)... I guess I'm a little bitter but I'm thinking that if you didnt pay attention to me before DONT start now... I need some consistency in my life! lol

Seriously, how has dating changed for you since surgery? Help me out, I wanna a wife and kids the whole nine. However, I think because I'm so cautious now that I may miss her because I'm being to critical of peoples motives.

Hi Joseph...Please stop reading my mind...lol...I started to post something about this yesterday but did not...My dating life has change dramatically after surgery...I was ALWAYS called pretty before but now EVERYWHERE I go men are all over me...I frequent this bar in Philly that I like a lot and it seems like I am the only female in the building because all eyes are on me and everyone is trying to buy me drinks, get my attention and get my number. It started for me in October 2009 when I went out and gave a handsome, well dressed guy my number and when we talked he said that he thought I wouldn't give him my number...He was basically scared to approach me...So anyway it kept happening and I was getting extra attention that night... So I thought to maybe it is me...So the next weekend I went out and the same thing happened...I do not wear provocative clothing and am having plastic surgery in April so I am imagining a WILD summer...lol

Now the guys that I meet are "top shelf" and have it going on...And it is difficult for me to accept the way guys are acting because even after losing 135 lbs and wearing as low as a six and small...I still feel HUGE...My BFF is upset with me because she feels that I should embrace it and it is difficult...Overall I kind of like the attention but it is getting overwhelming...I work full-time and am a grad student so my time is limited and what little time I have to myself someone is ALWAYS trying to occupy it...I go out on a date at least once a week and if I had more time it would be more...

I am not critical of peoples motives, I just figure they like what they see...But anyway good luck out there, it is much more fun when you are the one making the choices versus the other way around.

LOL...Well yes I am VERY single at this time and loving it...Though I have much love for my ex and you never know what the future holds...But our relationship was rocky before my WLS as you can recall...As I told him multiple times, I have a father already...Nothing like having sos in your life but at the same time I am enjoying my freedom...

Thanks Kim...I am VERY thankful and grateful for this opportunity and would not change it for the world...It has been bitter/sweet because I have lost some good friends, but not because of me, because of them, but on the same note I have gained some great friends as well. I am really looking forward to the months and years to come and trying to focusing on being a better person physically, mentally & financially.

I think it must be the post op glow from all the vitamns and protein that attracts men. Or does wls release pheremones or something, cause i've been really popular lately too?

 

Or have skinny chicks been having fun like this all along and I missed it cause I was fat?
