Sounds like you are better off.

In retrospect....ABSOLUTELY.

And as a bonus, now I get to spend the last year of my twenties getting my life and living by myself and single for the first time ever. It's like finally claiming my independence.

Single here and checking in!! I can't wait to start to live again. I'm pre op and hopefully will have my surgery in the next few months. I was married in 2003 and divorced in 2005. Now I am single with an adopted baby girl. I'm not sure if I'm ready to date just yet I'm thinking in a year or so after my surgery. I'm ready to be loved again. :) good luck everyone with finding love!!

Dating is the worst.

I haven't been out on a date date in like 3 years. It really does suck. I'd rather just hang out with a guy I like. Nothing formal. No plan. I'm more comfortable that way.

I left my ex over a year ago and am much better off. I was really settling with him! I won't do that again. We were together 2.5 years so at this point I haven't gone on a first date in like 4 years! Yikes! I'm already nervous just thinking about it.

So I guess just having that match membership but never actually responding to anyone won't cut it????

You guys will find someone. My advice is be open to someone who you might not consider your type, and don't settle just because you want a relationship you're worth more than just settling.

I have something to share: After two – year hiatus in dating, I put my profile out on okcupid.com. I briefly dated two different men who turned out to be not right for me, but, as they say, the third time's the charm. For the past three weeks I've been dating this very nice young man. I say young because he is nine years younger than I am. I feel 10 years younger, so why shouldn't I date someone who is 10 years younger, almost? :)

I almost forgot to mention: in the past I always posted a full-length picture of myself sort of as a full disclosure on what I really look like and how big I was. I always thought if I lost weight I would put a full-length skinny picture of myself on there and get better guys. Interestingly, at 70 pounds thinner, I have no desire to attract men who would judge me on my size. Interesting,huh?

I broke up with my girlfriend 3 months post-op. I am not sure if it had anything to do with my surgery. I think it had to do more with not wanting to settle. I am hoping to meet someone at a race, support group meeting, or at the gym.

      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.
