At almost a year post op, I'm starting to believe that dating another WLS guy might be so much easier! Hahaha ????

I'm sure it'll confuse some at first. I don't care if they think different of me for going through with WLS. if they like me then that's fine, if not that's fine too. I just know I'll be looking good and feeling healthier

@@scubav85 - Not just feeling healthier, being healthier. Opens up all sorts of possibilities (and much easier to cut your toe nails).

@@itstimealready - Yes you do get more attention. Fat people are often invisible to the world. Just a reality. There is a great thread on this site about women getting new attention following weight loss. Highly recommend it. I don't share how I lost the weight, but because there are a bunch of pictures of me on the web before I lost 90 pounds, I often mention that if you Google me realize the pictures on the web are often pre-weight loss.

Once we're normal sized we'll no doubt be getting a lot of attention from lots of people. I wonder if there will be a prejudice against us in telling someone we've gone through WLS because when they see us we look fantastic. just curious.

Yes...people notice you. It can take a while to realize someone is flirting with you but it absolutely does happen.

Prejudice? Maybe. I think it depends on the age/experience of the person you are dating. Most men who are older have their own body issues and do not expect perfection in a partner. In fact, a quality man will likely say things like my guy says...he is so very proud of me for tackling my issues of obesity and limited mobility. He loves to watch me thrill to the ordinary again as I engage in life rather than watch from the sidelines.

If you are not ashamed of your weight loss success, the person you are with won't think about it negatively.
