I'm not single so I can't speak from personal experience but I have 2 single sisters in their 50's and a single father (my mom passed away some time ago) in his 80's and it's the same giddy feeling no matter what age based on my discussions and observations with them. My dad asked a gal out about a month ago and when she said yes, he was so happy, playful and excited the whole day. I think you have tons of fun to look forward to. :-)

It doesn't feel different at all. I found that I had certain non negotiables and it was important to stick w them otherwise I would get burned.

The heart can go pidder patter and it can also break... At any age. Have fun and enjoy, but be wise with that precious heart of yours :D

I dated after a 20 yr marriage. At 47, I found very nice men to date on free dating website (POF). I found men much more sincere at this age and wanting to make the next go around in a relationship more meaningful and lasting. Of course there is ones I did not prefer myself, but I am now in a long term engagement and I felt all the wonderful feelings of being in love that I would of had when I was young. It was a lot of fun to date for me. I hope it will be for you.

      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.
