I have my first date in Years!!



Recommended Posts

Well everyone I have been so happy with my band and trying so hard. There are times when I am just like man why did I eat that. Nobodys perfect but I am happy with my progress.

Well Saturday I have my first date. I haven't gone on a date in FOREVER:eek:. I am very excited but also very nervous. He has said nothing but nice things and has been a total gentleman. He told me he used to over 400lbs and now I think he is like 245. Once he told me that I decided to open and upfront about my surgery. I told him and he was so cool with it. He says he actually wants it. I think he looks fine but he thinks he wants it now.

Well I am blabbing on and on I guess I wrote this just so I could get some support and advice on handling my first date in YEARS!! Any advice would be great I am so NERVOUS!! Thanks all!

Congratulations!!! How exciting? How did you meet? Sounds great since you have already talked about your surgery and he is supportive, that is a great start with communicating. Do you know where you are going or what you're doing? Can't wait to hear how it goes. I have not dated in years either. Was married to my teenage love for 21 years and he divorced me last year....he wanted to be single. I am trying to move on with life now and trying to get healthier for myself and my children. Have a great time!!:rolleyes2:

There is a connection but I am really taking it slow cause I don't want to get hurt. We will be going out again on Saturday so I am really looking forward to that. Thank you for everyones support. It was so nice. I hope things continue to stay positive and I look forward to seeing where the relationship goes. Thanks everyone.:scared2:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
