Topic: How do you know if its diaherrea or dumping?

I know dumping can lead to diaherrea, but how do you know the difference between both? And why would I have diaherrea every Wednesday morning? I don't eat for 1-2hours after getting up and I don't eat past 7pm the night before. It's strange, can anxiety cause diaherrea or am I dumping? I'm a little confused.

Topic: RE: Eating like a crazy woman before pre-op diet starts

It is very understandable what you are going through. I struggled with an overheating phase pre-op as well. I thought long and hard about the pros and cons of my mind wanting to have a pre-op party before the "real" work began and the cons far outweighed the pros. So I wrote out the reasons I was having surgery vs what might happen to my health if I did not have the surgery and put the list on my fridge as a reminder. That helped me to stop binge eating even when I wasn't hungry. Was I dedicated to my new journey or not? I decided heck ya, I was and would be!

I have dated lots of non wls guys and never found it a problem (I'm married now)

I never discussed my surgery unless it was a serious exclusive relationship because frankly it's not anyone's business.

At 10 years plus I'm surprised you even bring it up.

Maybe consider why you feel a need to share this far out?

Good luck, I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found my gorgeous prince who loves me exactly as I am, wls and all.

There are no weight loss surgery dating sites. You might meet someone on this site, if you are lucky. We have at least one happy couple who met on here.

Unless you're joining a cult where you won't have access to any of the things you mention, you will be able to eat post-op. Couple of things to remember - they operate on your stomach not your head. Get your mind in the right place by the time surgery comes around. It's a learning experience - you didn't become obese overnight and you won't lose the weight overnight. It's a process. Post-op life is about balance - including food. Granted I had a different type of WLS, but it's all the same. Nothing is off-limits once you've lost your weight, but everything in moderation. You may not be able to eat an entire cheeseburger, but you can definitely have a piece of a cheeseburger. You shouldn't eat an entire chocolate bar, but you'll be able to have a small piece of chocolate or a couple of spoons of ice cream or a cookie - just not in the amounts pre-op.

It's all about moderation - after you've lost your weight.

Topic: ISO Legitimate Dating Sites for WLS Singles
I am 10 years plus post surgery and have kept the weight off. As you all know, there are residual effects to our bodies that we have to control and maintain. I have been dating for some time and when the conversation leads to eating habits/routines and/or intimacy, I still struggle explaining and being accepted as is. Is there a LEGIT dating site that caters to WLS singles? I would like to meet a man that has gone through the same things I have or is at least accepting of it.

Thanks,

Devon
