A thread for Single Bandsters

Denise822 - are you sure it's the pictures?

I don't know yet....(cause I've only lost 11 lbs on this little pre-op thing)

But I was reading another thread on here that people still see themselves 60,70,80 lbs ago, that when they look at the mirror they still see the "fat" verison...basically your head has not caught up with your body type of thing.....just a thought....because when Manatee posted his pics, I thought he looked awesome (as did a lot of others too) but he was still unsure, ya know?

Just a thought...

I still see myself as a huge, overweight, unfit person, even though I have run in to a couple fairly close friends who have really talked me up and one of them did not even recognize me. Yet I am reluctant to believe all that they are saying based on what I see in the mirror. I guess I am all screwed up!

Yeah finally a free saturday and no date..sigh

What is wrong with me..argghhh..two guys that I thought were interested just decide to fall off the face of the planet..lol..I don't get it

I have been trying to get some new pictures taken. Even though I have lost 50 lbs. I still look really fat in pictures. I am going to have to lose a bunch more before I can get a decent picture. And it's not just my imagination. The people (friend and daughter) both agreed with me that I need to keep losing. It's depressing. I need to find a decent pose too.

I have been reading these posts - new to this forum...

Just one thought on dating with a new thinner body after lapband..it isn't a guarantee that you will be dating more...

I have many single thin girlfriends who don't get asked out..

It's your personality that shines through gals...just keep smiling...

I don't know how much you want to lose to be healthy. It took me about 100 pounds before people really noticed. I was 378 now I am 206. Drastic change, although some people think I changed my hair or my glasses! lol I went from a size 28/3x to a 14/16 Keep up the good work.

WOW Manatee -

That is NOT a minor thing that is AWESOME!!!!

I'm doing the Happy dance for you!

:whoo:

I am doing pretty well. I blew it last weekend when I went away for the weekend. We were eating all meals out and I ended up gaining 5 lbs. I have lost 4 of them during this week.

I am a little disgusted with Match. com and E Harmony. I would really like it if I would at least get an email from someone, but no such luck.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Congratulations Manatee!

OMG Manatee that is AWESOME!! Way to go!! You are going to be fighting them off with sticks!!

Congrats April on your surgery date! That is sooo exciting!

Not too much new on the single front for me. I've been dating - a couple new first dates a few dates with exes or old friends. I almost feel like I need to refocus a bit though and work on losing this last 40 lbs. Dating equals a lot of eating out and drinks, which don't necessarily work well with losing weight. That, and I need to join the gym and really start working out. So we'll see.

I wonder how JC is doing? He had a date and we've yet to see him back.....lol.

Hi to everyone else!
