Recommended Posts

Hiya all, just a quick message, I got banded April '06 and my life has changed so much, no more binges , I have learned to love myself again and lost a good amount of weight, so dcided i was ready to go back into dating so went speed-dating expecting to meet a lot of frogs that I would have to kiss to meet my dream man, met someone straight off, but unexpectedly got dumped last nite,, as was told I was in too good a place!

Has anyone had a similar experience, i am tearful today trying to hang onto my pride, but don't go on a date with someone lightly, is it me just being too sensitive!?

XX Any advice appreciated!:)

Sounds like someone who wants to wallow in their misery and can't stand to see others happy because of how ugly they feel. At least this dude was considerate enough to not bring you down with him. You didn't need that kind of sh*t around you anyway.

I agree, don't sweat it . He's not for you. Just be yourself and you'll attract someone who will appreciate who you are.

My Grandma always used to say to "quit lookin'.....when you're lookin' they ain't!" At 24 I took her adivice, kept busy volunteering for the Optimist clubs haunted house fundraiser (I wasn't even a member!!) and guess what?....met my husband of almost 15 years!

I meant to reply to you sooner about this. That totally sucks that someone would tell you that you are just in "too good a place" to date. What does he want, someone who is totally depressed and not sure of what they want???? :)

Hang in there, the right one will come along when you least expect it. That's usually how it works for me. I'm currently corresponding with someone from eHarmony. I have no idea what he looks like and he hasn't seen my picture either, but we did discuss our relative health just recently. I went ahead and told him that I had bariatric surgery and that it was lapband. Today I went in for another fill and told him about that as well. So far he hasn't made any comments but I have no idea what is going through his mind. But he is still communicating, so that's a good sign for now.

So, smile and put this guy behind you. He's not worthy of someone who's in "too good a place." :)

Sweetheart.....N-E-X-T!!! Too many people who ARE in 'a good place' themselves, and will want to be happy WITH you.

Blessing in disguise!! Hey...at least he loved you enough to know he didn't love you enough. Maybe he was intimidated by all the greatness your bringing about. We can go on and on about the maybe's , but ultimately it was HIS problem and had nothing to do with you....so don't beat yourself up.

Girl, there are so many fish in the pond, you will find someone, and if you do and don't like them, move on!!! I wish I could follow my own advice. I was in the 5 year relationship and the last 2 years was full of cheating, emotional and even physical abuse. I think it hurt my self-confidence, but I'm waiting to get the confidence to do one of those speed-dating things, so good for you!!!!!!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
