I'm single. Sleeved three months now. I'm a single mom and I even did that by myself! =) Well, my OB helped...

I'd kind-of like to get out a little and socialize but I'm not Miss Social - I'm more the friend of Miss Social type. My closest single girlfriend is dealing with some of her own issues and doesn't want to go out so I sort-of feel stuck. Maybe that's good because I'm also one big walking hormone and might make a complete fool of myself falling all over some poor soul! That and the idea of someone actually being attracted to me is a little freaky. I remember my surgeon's PA telling me that I needed to get used to the idea of people being interested in me and I think I looked at her like she was speaking a foreign language. I don't mean to be down on myself but the thought of someone seeing me naked is just too horrifying for words.

Checking back in, I went out with my wingman on Friday night, he was helping me see what kinda guys are out there.

Had the best night, got hit on like 4 times in one night......not sure any were 100% serious, but more attention than I ever got pre-op.

Guess I am starting to get sexy...will embrace that :)

Hey all the single ladies. I've been single most of my life, a boy or 3 here and there, even a few serious relationships, but never married. I haven't had low self esteem as an adult, but definitely in high school and college. I'm looking forward to more attention. The best part of being single on a diet is no temptation food and not having to cook something I can't eat for a family. What is the best part for you?

There really arent very many single male sleevers... I guess that means I get first pick? Just kidding.

It's great to see all the single sleevers out, I'm joining the ranks (been single for a few months, but was using the time to get myself on track) and glad to be here. I'm still on the 6 month diet/exercise regime and in month 2 I'm down 31 pounds. If my college schedule doesn't fit the surgery date, I'm just gonna do in Mexico. It's nice to have both options.

Anyways, bring it on singles - were the ones who keep the party going!

My name is TJ, I'm from Maryland but born in Ohio. Smart enough to work for the Man, dumb enough to get back on a motorcycle after half a decade of no riding (one of my major reasons for losing weight - I miss my HD Dyna Glide :( ).

My nutritionist made the recommendation for August 16 which is about 3 weeks after my program ends. The surgeon will respond soon we hope. Personally, I hope they can push it up because class starts again at the end of August. So I might pick up the knowledge from the insurance and just pay out of pocket with Dr. Kelly.

Stats as requested (demanded?)

26 years old

5'10"

337 pounds prior to nutrition class

306 pounds as of this morning

Im like a life size Teddy Bear ;-)

Now I have to read the rest of the thread and figure out who else is in here and who they are hehe.

Definitely - might just do the Mexico option if I can't get the timing right. Honestly, I don't talk too much about the progress thing. It feels too much like bragging. But I love reading stories and offering encouragement.

I don't feel it's bragging! You are giving a testimony of the surgery being a success and also sharing what you go through gives hopes to others.

Welcome to the Single Sleevers forum.

Get ready for some more attention.

I still dont see it but I have been hanging out with my wingman lately and he says there are always guys checking me out...but hopefully I will realise when a good guy does come along...

Good luck with your surgery :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
