BritishBornBabe 5 Posted October 24, 2015 Hello everyone! I'm 2 and a half weeks post-op and just joined here. I have a question about going on dates! How can I explain to my date why I am eating so little? Is there anything I can do to seem normal diet-wise? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LessOfMe0503 157 Posted October 24, 2015 Went on a few dates right after surgery. I had explained the whole surgery to him so it wasn't a big deal. You could also choose no food related dates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BritishBornBabe 5 Posted October 24, 2015 @@Daveo Thank you! I've not really had much support before/after the op, i've had so many questions and feel like I don't want to bug my dietician everyday! There aren't many support groups in my local area that seem to be legit? (London) So I hoped that this would be helpful and maybe share some of my experiences. Your weight loss is amazing! You look great and I wish you well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daveo 485 Posted October 24, 2015 @@BritishBornBabe this forum is a great resource for just about anything you have questions about. I have come across other forums but I find this one more informative and the members seem to be more active. With my schedule I can't get to any support groups so I rely on this site a lot. I'm so jealous that you are in London! One of my future vacation destinations once I get to goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bndtoslv 292 Posted October 24, 2015 Hello everyone! I'm 2 and a half weeks post-op and just joined here. I have a question about going on dates! How can I explain to my date why I am eating so little? Is there anything I can do to seem normal diet-wise? Thank you! I dated heavily with my lap band 8 years ago. I am married now. The following is so true: if the date is going great nobody pays attention to what anyone is eating. I would not mention a thing. Order something small with Protein and pick. Honestly before bariatric surgery I was distracted on dates and never ate much anyway. If you date someone for any leg nth of time you can decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
