Single guys?

I have a friend on here that is dating a woman who had WLS and they are finding a lot in common. It might be a good idea.

I dated a guy who also had WLS. It made the eating part easier but my current beau is just a 'naormal' eater and we regularly share when we eat out because truth is, portions are way too big. It really depends on the guy. If he's one of the good ones, it won't matter.

Yeah I want to try it out. It's like more of an understanding between each other because we know how hard it is for everything.

Hahaha yeah, I got out of a relationship with a guy that I was dating before my surgery and then dating after and it seems like he was disinterested and he always told me I was getting too skinny. And he never understood what I was going through with anything nor did he make changes with me or for me. We ate out too often and he never picked the best places. I feel like having this on common would be such special bond and we could support each other with all of the life changes.

I think its a good idea.. I guess alot go through this process alone to have someone that really understands and helps as well as you help them. I think builds a really strong bond...

@@kelseynicole20 - With whole internet world strange niche perversions keep popping up, there probably are people who really like loose skin...so if anyone is "really out there" and edgy, I'd be curious to see if there is a market. ;-) sort of.

The problem with dating sites is numbers and traffic. It takes a big bunch of people to make it viable. Maybe personal ads on this site might be a better way to go. I'd start, but I'm starting to get serious about someone at the moment.

@@Daveo - Dude, do the math, half of the population is below average. That's why this a numbers game. It takes on average for me:

15 emails before I get a response

1 of 5 of those who I am in email communication with result in a coffee date

2 of those 5 get a real date

so I've gone out on 20 real dates over the last three months, and finally found two I was very serious about...one I had to say no to, but one I'm now getting VERY serious about.

See what I mean, its a numbers game?

      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.
