I too am single and undergoing the big change of being healthy. The advice that I keep getting is the same...don't date until you are done! Mainly because you will go through so many changes within yourself; there is the risk that the person you are dating may not like the "new you". I don't know about any of you out there but I have already had my fair share of horrible dates and experiences with plenty of jerks out there. I can only imagine I will somehow be able to find even more after I'm sleeved. I guess I can hold out the hope the changes I have already made in my life will somehow reflect in those that come into my life as well! Good luck all!

Well, as the date for the completion of my "wellness class" draws near I find myself battling the fight between Anxiety and Excitement! Our classes began in March and since then I have lost about 30lbs. Which I am very proud of! I have made many changes in my daily routine, starting with having a daily routine! Exercise is probably the biggest change I have made and the affects are paying off. The boost of energy and just overall feeling better are worth every minute I spend sweating! But.... After reading the post-op diet and instructions I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. I really feel like I will be staring at the clock and center my well-being on intake of food and or liquid. Not much else seems to be able to get done during the first couple weeks. Granted I am VERY excited about my new life, but I can't help but feel anxious about all the instructions to keep in mind. I'm so excited about loosing this weight that its basically all I talk about. This whole journey consumes my life, but in a good way. I'm lucky to have many supportive co-workers and family behind me to push me along, not to mention a great friend who went thru the surgery already who inspired me to make these much needed changes in my own life. It is so difficult for me to wrap my brain around the fact that this time next year I will be smaller...significantly so. No one can tell me or predict how this will change my life, only that it is for the better. From one minute to the next I'm happy and excited to aprehensive and anxious. I know that these feelings are normal but there is really so much to remember and keep straight! I'm seriously hoping that there is an "app for that"!
