To all the ladies out there, when did you start dating? I am 27 yrs old and 9 weeks post op. I really want to start dating but the idea of being intimate with someone scares the hell out of me. And how do you go on a first day when I can't really eat or drink? That's not something I want to share on my first date. I don't know, I just really want to date!

I've been with my guy for almost 5 years. I'm terrified that when it comes to being intimate, my excess skin will be a problem or he'll be turned off by it.

Also first dates is not about going out to eat. You can do a lot of fun stuff like bowling, movies, skating etc. By the time your on your 3rd or 4th date,you'll be able to eat like normal ppl lol. And when you go to dinner make a smart choice on what your going to order THINK not only that you've been sleeved and you don't want to lose weight but you want to stay away from food that will make you sick or give you bad breath. Good Luck!
