You look Amazing! You get out there and have fun dating.

Go get 'em!!

Awesome! Congrats! Have fun!!

When I lost my husband 6 yrs ago, I ballooned up from 200 to 250 lbs. I was never gunna date again. Almost 4 yrs ago, I moved 3,000 mi away to start over. And had the lapband placed. It took about a year and I lost 75 lbs. I decided to start dating again (about 3 yrs after hubby died). Had about 15 dates for coffee or lunch. Then I met my now-husband. He had recently lost 80 lbs too, using Atkins. We had so much in common. A year later (2011) we got married. Im so happy. In the year we were together before getting married, I lost another 30 lbs.

Yes, go for it! There's all kinds of posts out there on whether or not to tell your dates about wls. I told everyone I had a meal with. Im pretty open about it tho. There was no point in telling those I just had coffee with. I never got a negative reponse. Most were eager to learn about it.

Now that I've gained 30 lbs back (band slip), Im the same weight as when I met hubby. He still luvs me tho! Good luck dating...its definitely not for the faint of heart

Btw, I met my husband online. I paid $250 for a year of Eharmony, never met one guy. Paid $110 for 6 mths of Match.com, met 2 guys there. Most of my dates (including hubby) were found on Plenty of Fish. For free. You'll have to weed out the weirdos alot mlre on a free site, but I advise anyone to give it a try
