Hi all. I was sleeved July 10th. Now down to 213 from 248. I am a single mom of three teenage boys. I’d like to think someday I’ll be able to get into the dating arena again. Focusing on me right now and working the plan with my surgery for the best outcome. Any other single moms out there in my position? It gets lonely sometimes.

I am not a single mom anymore, but I was for about 6 years. You'll get there. The best advice I can give is make sure you are in the right headspace. Oh, and think about dating against "your type". I went on a date with somebody I never would have thought would be a match for me, and he ended up being the best guy ever (and is now my husband!).

Hi jingle. Congrats on finding the best guy ever! Hopefully that day will come for me too. I agree with being in the right headspace. Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm single, but not a mom. I've been dating for what feels like forever, lol.

I'm excited to date at the weight I am now. I always projected confidence and never let on to my insecurities due to my weight. But now I actually feel confident, instead of just faking it!

That’s awesome. I hope to gain some confidence over the next few months and start dating.

      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.
