Alex has graciously allowed me to sneak into the mens room to tell you all about something exciting! I've started a dating website for bariatric patients. I wanted to create a safe place where men and women who've had surgery can meet people with similar goals. I can't think of anything more awesome than finding someone to share this journey with.

Our website is TOTALLY FREE! It features profiles with up to ten pictures, private chat, private email, blogging and more.

We are just getting off the ground so it will take some time to build the membership but you can help make this a success. If you are single or have other single friends, please send them to check out the site.

We've got a fair amount of women to get started but we need men!

Please visit www.loveafterwls.com for more information and to get your profile started.

The site should be a success for a few considering there is about a 10:1 ratio of women to men and odds are 85% the married women that loose the weight from surgery dump the current spouse and move on. Us guys get to be choosy.

@@par1959 That statistic got me thinking and I can't find the source. It makes no sense. Just a personal observation and not from some survey, but chunky couples tend to stay together more so than skinny couples. Chunky guys tend to stick around with their wives and girlfriends through sickness and health. So why would weight loss change a personality so much? Recent articles suggest that cheating women have caught up, if not surpassed, cheating husbands. Sorry, but had to put in my 2 cents because the thought is disconcerting.

Nisasio, Having been very successful in my weight loss adventure, I can personally say that it changes one out look. The split up percentages are high because of this change. It's not because one no longer cares for the spouse. One finds there is more to life and doesnt want to be involved with others that doent understand this change. For me, weight loss means no longer drinking. My spouse still wants to get hammered every night. I on the other hand have learned how to cope with life without the booze. I no longer want to be around those that do. Women I personally know that have lost the weight no longer want a husband that doesnt support their decision and would have preferred them to stay fat. Life is to short to tolerate things that one doesnt like or approve of.

      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.
