I have just recently started dating again after about 8 years. I am still so nervous but am more confident in myself and have more self esteem then I have ever had. I am starting to really like the new me.

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 :)

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

        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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
