Dating post-op...



Recommended Posts

How has you dating life changed since surgery? I'm single (pretty much always have been) and I'm not loving it! Part of the reason is my own insecurity mostly about my weight.

Did you have that problem? Has dating changed for you since being sleeved? How?

Well Ms extremely pretty face, all I can add is maybe when the weigh you want to lose begins to come off; your confidence will increase and you will start to put yourself out there. I hope DC is getting ready.

Awwwthank you

you are welcomed. But to address your question. I also want a romantic life and do get attention from men. Even before my surgety. My issue is things are sagging and mushy, and I just don't have the confidence to remove my clothing for anyone. It's enough doing so for my GYNO appointment once a year. But you are obviously younger than I am. You will have a lot of great years ahead of you. Enjoy the process. All the boys will be coming into your yard!

I'm having more insecurities having lost 40 pounds now than before the weight came off...I'm in a kinda in a ltr and I send my partner pics of me hiding my cellulite or my overhang...or even my flap jacks (arms) lol

to me it's not his or my ideal of a perfect body, he never said otherwise, I just think there will never be an image of a perfect body but I would really like to get it tight in the right areas. It will take some years to get there but when it comes down to the nitty gritty will he be disgusted???. ...I found that to love your body is to love yourself and be proud of the skin your in, but sometimes it can be a distraction!

He says he loves all of me but I still cover up and hide under the covers...this whole transformation will take me some time but I understand your thoughts

I've been divorced since 2008. I saw someone for about six weeks three years ago. I really have no interest in dating or booty calls. I figure if you didn't like me at 312 than I don't need your shallow self.

I'm finding dating extremely frustrating but kind of in a good way. I have a new confidence in dating now and have many interested in me but it's just so difficult finding someone I want to be with.

      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.
