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.

        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!

      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
