I really wanted to give up on online dating since mostly hicks live in this town. I always get guys that want to take me fishing and hunting.
I rejoined Match and changed my pictures and profile. A guy popped up whom I had not seen before. Match has a way to live chat so we started messaging back and forth. He's apparently been lurking but finally joined on their 7 day free trial. He said he's seen my pictures before and wanted to write before but really wanted to hold it under 60. I am glad he messaged me because after chatting back and forth off and on all day Sunday, he finally suggested dinner. We really hit it off and I was amazed at how sweet and considerate he is. We talked at the table forever and then he asked if we could go to the beach and go hiking on Monday. Well that date lasted all day long and we were both kind of giddy about each other.
I am nervous cause he's only 55 and I am 63. I would have never messaged him. This morning he called and said he was deleting his match profile and hoped I would too. I did hide it instead of deleting it, cause I am not as optimistic as he is. I'd like to be, but I've been doing this awhile and something always turns out to be different than I thought.
I guess I am hopeful though! I know I loved being with him all day yesterday all day and into the evening!

I completely forget about this forum too.
I order salads a lot, or I order from the appetizer menu. I often share meals with people too. Guys I've dated know I don't eat much and will usually offer to order a large meal and share.

I am 7 years out and I gain weight very easily.
I had a resting metobolic test taken at a bariatric surgeon's office done twice.
You can't have exercised for 48 hours before and you go straight out of bed without eating or drinking. You get hooked up to a machine with your nose closed with a close pin like thing. Then you breathe in and out of your mouth for 20 min or so that's hooked up to a computer. It spits out how many calories you burn per day resting, without exercise. Mine is 1200 calories.

Carbs cause gas. It was explained to me that it's undigested sugar. Sugar really gives me gas. If I eat a cookie, I know I'll be tooting in an hour.

Maintaining for some people is easier for some and hard for others. It's hard for me. I have to watch what I eat very carefully or I will gain weight back.
I also have to exercise or I gain as well.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. He's a pretty outdoorsy guy, and has a boat he sleeps on when he takes it out. I can see us having some fun, but we're probably not a match for what he's looking for.
I do admire his guts. He could have said it a little more tactfully though. I guess he wanted to use the complete medical terminology.

This guy messaged me on POF. I had my profile hidden for most of this time, but I unhid it for a weekend.
We hit it off really well, as far as our personalities go. He was funny and I enjoyed our conversation. We went to lunch, then we went to the beach and walked and talked for awhile . Then we went back to my car. There was a picnic table outside the restaurant where my car was parked. We sat at the picnic table for quite awhile longer. He was funny and interesting. We were talking at this picnic table, and he told me he really liked me and wanted to see me again. Then he said he wanted to lay all his cards on the table and said
"I have erectile dysfunction!" I don't know why I wanted to die laughing but I just told him a lot of guys his age have that. I also got an email from him saying he can't wait to see me again. I'm still laughing. Talk about being blunt.

All I can tell you is that at for me at 7 years, it has never gotten easier. It depends on what your trigger food is. For me it's sweets. I try my best to stay away from them but they are everywhere. Other people have a really hard time giving up bread. Whatever it is, it's something you'll be working on for the rest of your life.
Some people are really lucky, and their tastes for certain foods change. Usually though, they find some replacement food they now have to stay away from . Plus I can eat quite a big more than I could at 2 years.
We don't have regular bodies with regular metabolisms.

Are you wanting to gain a little back? You will gain naturally farther on down the road. If you want to gain weight now, are you eating nuts? You need to add good carbs back into your diet, higher carb veggies and some higher fats, like nuts and avocados. They are also a good fat.

Like it was stated before, we already have a veterans forum.
Are you asking Alex to put a stop to anyone posting in this forum who isn't 18 months post op? Or are you asking to start a new vets forum?
I don't want a new one started. I think there are too many already. ( forums)
If there is a way to stop anyone from posting in the current vets forum unless they are 18 months post op, then I am all for that.
