Hey all.... Not new here, just havnt been on in a while. I am three months out and have lost about 67 lbs since May 11th YAY!!! sooo happy!!! Down to a size 20 from a size tight 28....  This whole surgery thing has been such a great experience. I would not go back even if I could. I talk to my over weight pts. about when My drs. ask me to. It has just been great and I cant even explain how proud I am of myself for keeping up and being good and taking full advantage of what this surgery has done for me.


ON the other hand though, I am very lonley. I have been really looking forward to starting a relationship after my surgery and, I just feel as though I have been let down. I guess it is me. But my confidence has boosted I take pride in how I look, I goout more. I put myself out there and still nothing. I am beginning to think that this will never happen for me. AND IT SUCKS!!!!

DO any of you have the sameproblem? or is it all in my head and I just need to relax and enjoy the ride casue i have been thinking that to. lol that I am just going crazy (Good Possibility) lol

Let me know

Thanks alot, Rachael

That was most of my motivation for my surgery. But, I met my boo like 5 months prior. But, regardless... I would  just wait it out! They will come.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!

In regards to being "on the prowl", I would have to say that it's even more difficult for me now than it was before surgery. With my new "thin" body and extra confidence (that I really, really didn't need :)), I find that I do attract quite a few more men.

However, a**holes come in all shapes and sizes. Now I've just got a bigger selection to shop from. And more bad ones to weed out. I think that dating sucks, no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you look like. It's a royal PITA.

My advice would be to go out, have fun, meet new people, and keep your eyes and heart open. According to multiple sources, when you quit looking too hard, the right one finds you. I have yet to have this happen, but there seems to be too much evidence to disregard the statement.

Good Luck!!!

that is the reason my mum wanted me to have the surgey and ofcourse for my health .
meeting new guys , may be better guys
but anyway i think losing the weight while you are single helps you focus more only on yourself your needs and all the struggles that you go through especially if you are an emotional eater like me.
i do sometimes think that i want to start dating and i am open for it now that i have lost some weight.but i am only 4 months and half out i donot expect and i didnot expect to have or be in a relationship that soon or even after 6 months. the thing is finding the right guy the good guy is very hard.
losing the weight would increase your chances i guess though there are guys who will accept you the way you are.

what i do when i am so lonely , i try to do something that i love , something that will make me happy .. you know what i mean. i seek friends support and family support
i guess the draw back of the whole thing is sometimes i think may be if i had someone i'd have some balance or support but then again may be not

i try to balance my life as much possible so that i can avoid the emotional eating that will stand against the weight loss.
 enjoy the ride , you will get what you want and need in the right time.
