Wednesday August 12 Share and Care

Hi Guys - needed to de-stress so I figured I start this thread even tho it's late.

Today has gone pretty well, but I am stressed. I met a new guy on a website and he wants to meet me. We've been talking for about two weeks and he sounds really nice. I told him about the surgery tonight cause we got talking about food we like. He only has my 'in progress' picture and said I look really good to him. This has me so nervous. I am so hoping he is not looking for sex only, like the last one. Wish me luck and send me some 'don't eat bad stuff' vibes. I so want cookies and candy right now!

Love ya, Deb

good luck deb. i hope it goes well for u

Good luck for the whole dating deal!!  It is possible -- I met my first husband online (in 1989!!) as well as the current one (in 2003).  Once you weed thru the psychos there are decent men looking for us decent women out there too.

Remember, looks are only part of the package and if the looks were to change would he still be as attractive to you and vice versa.  When I met my DH I was only a year out from my RNY and was at my low weight, cruising along and happy with life.  Fast forward 6 years and #75 gained (from infertility treatments, ineffectively done RNY, stoma with no restriction, yadda yadda) and he still loves me for ME -- not because of who I was with the weight loss. 

Now he has to deal with all my wows and gushing everytime I lose a pound (as well as my own insecurity about how I look) but he does so lovingly and without the insecurity of wondering if he will lose me when I am back down in weight.

Sorry, I digressed

Bottom line..... Good luck and let us know the juicy details so we can all live vicariously through you (especially if it turns out well!!!)!

Good Luck with the dating. I met my husband when I was bigger, and he is coming home soon and I have never been this small since I have known him. I am kinda nervous. Bless his heart, he says it is nothing to worry about, but when you haven't seen your hubby in 8 months, you do worry. Especially when you go through this major of a change. He see's me on webcam, but that is totally different.

Went to the dr yesterday, and they think I am animic. I am constantly tired, so she wants to put me on Iron pills. That will constipate me, which I already am, so I also get stool softeners. YAY ME! LOL  Just one thing after another.

Hope everyone has a happy and wonderful day. Thank God it is almost FRIDAY!

Love ya all, Devon

P.S- I posted my 3 month pics last night. I am really starting to see a change now

Miralax - a WLS patient's best friend. Love the stuff. My doctor recommended every three days for me, but I've heard you can use it safely every night. Expensive but worth it.
