Love Life After Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

This may sound like a touching topic but I have always had a problem when it comes to dating. Don't get me wrong I have a daughter and I have had boyfriends in my past but no one really wanted to make a commitment. I take it because I have always been overweight.

High school I never had a prom date, actually I have never been on a date with a guy just me and him. I feel that one of my friends I have had since Jr high and he has always been here but never wanted to commit. My child father I was with him for 13 years but there was a lot of infidelity..

So like every other human being in the world as I am on my journey I would like the chance to finally go out on a date, finally settle down and feel real love, I would like the chance to finally walk down the aisle..

Give me you input on how your love life changed..

Since I was young, there has been a significant change in the dating habits. I think in the old days, a boy and a girl would go out to eat dinner or a movie. Today many times the norm is more like a group date where several boys and girls get together and go someplace and have a good time. It's like a shared date.

I think some dating has even evolved to electronic hook-ups. There are apps where you enter your profile and your phone enters your GPS location. And someone who wants to hook up just gets an alert when you are geographically near each other, looks over your profile, and if he likes what he sees, sends you a message.

I am old school. Been married for over 40 years and very happy. I corresponded with a girl on the other side of the world with someone at each side to translate the letters. Then after a year, I went and met her. After 5 weeks I proposed to her using a language dictionary. So it was a grand adventure and well worth it. So love can be found in the most unusual places and in strange ways.

That's is so neat... Yea you right it's more group dating. I'm personally not ready to date but I was just wondering if people noticed a different with being more attractive after surgery..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
