Dating Advice Ladies ...?



Recommended Posts

Sooooo...

I have a question, I know this is a time to focus on me, which I am, but I want to start going out and different things. So I have made my Couch potato friends join the real world and turn off Call of Duty 3, and actually go out. My question is... when is a good time to start dating? To get back on the so called "horse". I admit to being a ball buster, but the thought of actually dating is making me feel like a 10 year old leaving her training bras behind... You want it...but you dont. .... So some advice would be greatly appreciated ;)

Why are you worried?

Why wouldnt I be worried? I'm a hundred and fifty pounds lighter. My body is not what it should be, i.e. loose skin, old lunch lady arms, etc. My appearence is different I'm not totally used to the difference in the way that I look, so in essence I am self conscious.. ... and trying to snap out of it

You have made such a huge step in changing your life! I am married now, but I was divorced with two little boys and 260lbs when we met. You have to take the leap and know that not every guy is a fit or will appreciate the difficult journey you've been down. But be honest with them- who you were is a part of you. Match.com is a good stepping stone. :)

      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.

      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!
