Dating after weight loss

I had never really dated at all until after I lost the weight. Then I started dating and things got crazy! I made a few bad choices, then I met my husband and married him 5 1/2 months (yes months!) later. Talk about a whirlwind! (Although I am fantastically happy, I don't recommend it for the faint of heart!). I think I'm incredibly lucky for things to turn out well, because I was kind of careless for a while there. I think I sort of got this new body (I have never been thin) and thought - "OK - let's take this baby out for a spin and see what it can do!" Keep good friends you can trust for sound feedback around you and have fun!

yeah shrink i saw one time said that you will feel better about yourself and not be a wallflower anymore and people will give you attention and things can get crazy. a few of my friends did that when they had to gastric bypass. i didnt really tell anyone i had the lapband thou just a handful of people.

i am dipping my toe into the dating scene lol, and so far it has been interesting but nothing whirlwind. casual. congrats on the outcome though!!! hope my luck is as good as yours.

Congrats on the self esteem boost!! I'm still working on mine some. I'm gaining more and more confidence, but it's still a struggle in a sense. I was banded 3.27.13 and I've lost 40lbs so far. The smaller I get, the sexier I feel about myself but I've yet to step out onto the dating scene. It has been about a year and a half since my last date. We shall see what the future holds though :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
