A thread for Single Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I don't know if this has been covered already, or if anyone will relate...

But is anyone else nervous about starting a new relationship, and telling them you have a band? What if they're disgusted? Some people can be so judgemental, which is why I haven't told anyone other than my immediate family.

It's times like these I wish I just had a husband already!

Yeah, pretty much none of us has told anyone we are dating. Once a good relationship is established, some have told and they have been understanding. As for me, I haven't even been able to find anyone to date!

I got a free 3 month subscription to Match.com. I got an email saying if I tried this face cream , and only paid the $5 shipping, they would give me a free membership. So I signed up. I need to figure out a way to sneak in

my email address. Most people around here have profiles listed, but don't pay, so they can't receive messages.

Any ideas on how I can do that?

Set up a free yahoo e-maill address to use for match.com use only. Of course if you post a picture they can still find you.

That's the problem. Match wants everyone to pay their fee. After you pay, you pick up your messages at Match. You aren't allowed to give out your email address. I have seen people sneak it in while they are describing themselves. I could set up a new yahoo address. One guy said you can find me at the y place if you look for (he had a bunch of letters strung together) Nobody around here wants to pay, so their profiles are useless.

Gotcha! I misunderstood. My thoughts are that anyone really serious about looking is going to pay the money. I probably wouldn't date someone that was to cheap to pay or couldn't afford the fee. Put a great profile that will make them want to pay to meet you. I'm sure once they check you out they will pay. :wink_smile:

are you good at writing? I could use some help in jazzing up my profile.

I could give you my sign in name if you wanted to take a look at it.

The part about me reading is something they changed when I sent it in for approval. I don't want to fix it yet cause I messaged a couple of guys.

I suck at writing profiles. Mine are always practically blank. I can never think of what to write. I'll take a look at it if you want me to. Sometimes it is easier to do it for other people.

I've basically just come to the point where I'm tired of looking. I'm going in the route of not looking and hopefully one day, someone will come to me when I least expect it. I hear that I'm so beautiful all of the time but nobody ever hits on me. My confidence level has definately gone up, so I don't know what the deal is. Maybe the guys in Houston are wusses :-)

I'm so freaking scared of rejection. Actually on Wed night, I finally got the courage to go up to some guy and he was nice but didn't ask for my number....

manatee, guys usually end up with the rejection since they tend to be the crueler ones when doing the rejecting while showing off in front of their friends so once that happens, most women just say screw it, let them do the aproaching instead.

      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.
