Alex has graciously allowed me to sneak into the mens room to tell you all about something exciting! I've started a dating website for bariatric patients. I wanted to create a safe place where men and women who've had surgery can meet people with similar goals. I can't think of anything more awesome than finding someone to share this journey with.

Our website is TOTALLY FREE! It features profiles with up to ten pictures, private chat, private email, blogging and more.

We are just getting off the ground so it will take some time to build the membership but you can help make this a success. If you are single or have other single friends, please send them to check out the site.

We've got a fair amount of women to get started but we need men!

Please visit www.loveafterwls.com for more information and to get your profile started.

The site should be a success for a few considering there is about a 10:1 ratio of women to men and odds are 85% the married women that loose the weight from surgery dump the current spouse and move on. Us guys get to be choosy.

@@par1959 That statistic got me thinking and I can't find the source. It makes no sense. Just a personal observation and not from some survey, but chunky couples tend to stay together more so than skinny couples. Chunky guys tend to stick around with their wives and girlfriends through sickness and health. So why would weight loss change a personality so much? Recent articles suggest that cheating women have caught up, if not surpassed, cheating husbands. Sorry, but had to put in my 2 cents because the thought is disconcerting.

Nisasio, Having been very successful in my weight loss adventure, I can personally say that it changes one out look. The split up percentages are high because of this change. It's not because one no longer cares for the spouse. One finds there is more to life and doesnt want to be involved with others that doent understand this change. For me, weight loss means no longer drinking. My spouse still wants to get hammered every night. I on the other hand have learned how to cope with life without the booze. I no longer want to be around those that do. Women I personally know that have lost the weight no longer want a husband that doesnt support their decision and would have preferred them to stay fat. Life is to short to tolerate things that one doesnt like or approve of.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
