edited 'body type'



Recommended Posts

I'm on a couple of online dating sites since about June of last year. It was hard, but in my profile describing body type, I put in 'normal' or 'average'. I still wanted to put in curvy but I'm not..I just felt that way.

So this week, I finally went ahead and put the correct body type in my profiles. In one I had the option for 'petite' and I clicked on it, and in the other one, I actually clicked on 'slim'. That's really the more accurate type for me but it's not easy to admit to it. Man...I wish my head would catch up to my body.

I had the same problem. I would put "normal" or "average" and all the guys marked average were actually overweight.... I eventually switched to "atheletic or "fit" but i couldn't bring myself to do that until I had skin removal. Weird.

Anyway - I am currently very pleased to have NO profile out there!

Not weird at all. I have loose skin...no plastics done yet. Not sure if I want to go down that road. But loose skin or no...I'm a small lady now. I wear mostly size 6 pants and small/petite tops. That's not average and I know it. I just haven't wrapped my head around it yet. I'm getting there and changing my body type is a step in the right direction. Congrats on deleting your profile. Here's hoping he's a keeper.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
