Church is a good bet....not a guarentee but a good place to start.

Good Luck!

A good one is worth working for....and praying for....there are so few of them out there these days.

I am thankful I have a good that believes in going to church...speaking of that.......it is getting late and the alarm will be going off soon to get up and get ready for Sunday service.

I agree with Stagegirl find a church with a singles ministry there are many, not saying you won't find a weed or two but I really feel God sent my husband to me so I suggest a conversation with God is a start. Alot of the single groups are very activie, movies, out to eat, etc. Some of the really large churches will have more singles. Try a couple you might be surprised. I wish you best luck, don't settle!!

Quite a few of my friends have met their partners through eharmony. The good thing about eharmony is that there's a detailed personality analysis, and they match you with people you're actually likely to be compatabile with. This is different to the other dating sites that will just match you with people who are the right gender, age, and near you.

I met my husband at a sporting school. Maybe that could be something that can help you with your weight-loss goals as well as introducing you to a new social group. A lot of sporting clubs have social events and a lively social scene. I met my husband doing martial arts, but I've also been involved in clubs for scuba diving, soccer, and Water polo that all had frequent BBQs and parties. At the very least, you might make some friends, and "the one" could be there, or your new friends might be able to introduce you to him!

Match.com is where I met my hubby. I have heard of a lot of couples finding success on match.com. Go to a sight that you need to pay for-then only serious men will be there-ones truly looking for someone special. Free sites attract all kinds and I wouldn't suggest going on them. Don't limit yourself to chance meetings in this computer age. Meet in a public place and for a drink/coffee. Don't spend months emailing only to find out you are not compatiable-try to meet after a brief correspondance. You will go through a lot of duds though-but he is out there-that special someone!

Match.com!

I have lost almost 100lbs, feel so confident & ready to date, but just moved to a big city where all I was told was how hard it is to meet guys (very touristy)....so after years of friend trying to get me online, which I thought was crap, I finally have in & signed up....started taking to a few guys just hours later but ine really stood out...we clicked so well, talked for a week, went it on a tuesday for one game of pool...that turned into 4 games, 2 drinks, & dinner....and a date the following 2 nights...we've been dating for a month and its AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Can't believe I'm saying this but match.com WORKS :) And yes, I chose it because I know lots of ppl who are married or engaged,and thet all met on match :)

I DID marry my Dr., family Dr., not Obgyn., or anything weird!!!!!! He passed away and I had a lot of dun on Match.com. YES! There are losers out there, but aren't they everywhere. I am still friends w 2 men I met 12 yrs. ago on Kiss.com from when I was single before. We still email, etc. So.............it can be a good thing. Fortunately, the weirdos USUALLY show their colors upfront, if u are looking. Run fast, run VERY fast! LOL!:) best of luck!!!

Just like Jen1214 I met my fiancé on craigslist. There are lots of weirdos out there, you just have to have the patience to believe that the right one will come and love yourself the same as you want others to love you.

More in love than ever. Just remember he could be anywhere , but I do have several friends who found their (2nd) spouses through match and eharmony! Good luck, your prince awaits you!

Match.com. Met and married my husband. We have been together almost eight years now! Best advice I can give is to go with gut instinct. If you meet them and it's not right, move on...plenty of fish in the sea!

I met my last two long term relationships online first was on Love@aol and the other was on black planet which was ironic because he ended up living in the apt complex across the street! As everyone said there are a lot of frogs wherever you look but I enjoy online because you can weed out crazies alot easier than in person ;) good luck on your search.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
