MissFeB

I am new to this, but I was sleeved November 24, had to stay at the hospital til thanksgiving day due to constant throwing up and not being able to eat. Starting weight was 271. When I went to my 2 week appointment I was down to 253. I don't weigh my self until my doctors appointments because I don't want to become obsessed lol. I was told I could move to the mushy stage but when I try to throw some new foods in my diet I tend to throw up sometimes daily. But as of today I'm doing ok, still have my off days and my days where I feel like crap but still hoping this journey gets better. I commend everyone who has done this because it's tough but reading everyone's stories makes me feel better about my decision.

@@Daveo that sound like the way to go

@@MissFeB Where do you find them? Try the meat department at the grocery store!

Just found this thread. Answer: YES, you should definitely date another sleever! ME!! LOL!! I live in North Dallas, and I've been single for several years. I keep thinking I should get on some dating sites, but the only one I'm on so far is LoveAfterWLS.com -- and there weren't many people on there when I last checked.

Thanks Tara. I guess I've just always had dates where I meet a woman for dinner or lunch and then go to a movie or some other place. Now, I just need to come up with non-food related things to do. Unfortunately, DFW is the sort of place where everywhere you drive, you pass tons of restaurants. If you were to take away all the restaurants, many areas around here wouldn't even have much there if you think about it. The other problem is that I don't drink alcohol, so I don't go to bars or clubs where people are drinking. Guess I need to focus on the parks, zoo, botanic gardens. It's just gonna take the right girl who won't be sad when I don't want to take her out to nice restaurants every night.

Just suggest other things to do besides going to dinner. I'm in the DFW area and there are so many fun things to do. Eventually you'll reveal you've had WLS but it shouldn't really matter. I've been on plenty of dates (have Lapband) and just don't worry about it.

I will be getting Sleeve surgery next month in Dallas. I live in Fort Worth. When dating before, I always went out to eat. Now, that won't be an option, or at least a good option for me. I thought maybe if I meet another sleeve woman in my area to date, we would be able to help each other. Ever heard of anyone doing that before? Is it a good idea or should I just look for a fit girl who doesn't eat much?
