I kinda wanna date someone...

..that has had WLS.  I've heard other people say it wasn't a good idea, but I think it could be a great relationship if it was with the right person.  Agree? 

I don't know why it wouldn't be a good idea.  You would already have that in common, and he would understand your meal limitations if you went out to dinner - no explanations needed.

I wouldn't rule someone out just because they've had WLS.

 If you find someone who you connect with regardless if they have had WLS or not, then go for it. But I can totally understand why you would want to be with someone who you can relate to in this way. I recently started dating again & it really is so annoying to keep explaining over & over again why I'm not eating this or why I don't drink with my meals, etc. 

Yes I agree... Plus I feel like it'd be nice to be with someone who understands my priorities on my weight and staying active and can compliment my life style. Changes.  Granted I had the DS not the RNY so it makes things like a date easier because its not quite as obvious though I do get a lot of, wow thats all your getting are you sure  comments or even worse  a lot of you're a typical girl whose worried about her weight that doesn't need to comments from guys when I order a small portion or low carb (best way for a DSer to eat ) and I often just think in the back of my mind I was close to 400 lbs at one point trust me I need to eat like this but don't want to reveal I had weightloss surgery.  I just had plastics so have yet to date anyone since then but before then I also worried about the relationship progressing to that point and the loose skin which happened exactly once and then he sort of lost interest well not in being my friend but never tried again and I wondered is he being typical guy and got what he wanted or was he so turned off by the skin that he never wanted more as he seemed to really like me before.  Heck when I posted a facebook status saying I'm going for plastics he liked it and that set me into being a paranoid mess  (So I have issues clearly).  Another thing is I'm doing online dating and some guy told me about all the fat chics that message him not realizing how big I used to be and it really kinda hurt my feelings even though I was at goal by then so looking at me you can't tell.   Anyways my rambling boils down to if I met someone I clicked with who had weightloss surgery I would much prefer that.  That being said as a DSer my diet is quite different the RNYer so I don't know how well that would work long term but I'd rather deal with that aspect than the lack of understanding aspect.

Hey, I'd date you, but I'm in a commited relationship now, so it can only be platonic, friends only.  I would like to have friends who share the same experiences as me, and we can swap stories and stuff.
