Hello, my name is Jessica and I am currently researching for a documentary series about single people with a medical conditions for Discovery.

We are looking for UK based single men and women who are looking to start dating again but may feel nervous because of a physical condition they have. It is an uplifting and sensitive series which aims to highlight and raise awareness about different conditions and hopefully helps to dispel any misconceptions people may have about their own appearance.

The last series featured individuals with a range of conditions, for example, a lady living with alopecia who had little confidence when dating because she never knew when to tell men that it was not her real hair, to a man who had his arm amputated due to a motorbike accident and thought women would find him less attractive. We can happily say that both are now with long term partners a year on.

This year, we would like to hear from people with excess skin from weight loss or surgery. If you would like to find out a bit more information about the documentary please feel free to get in contact with me at jessica.howe@betty.co.uk.

Many thanks, Jess.

(Please only apply if you are 18+ and based in the UK)

      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.
