How do you tell the person your interested in/ dating that you had WLS?

I had my surgery on 1-23 of this year. I had to really thought about it to be honest. I figured just explaining how heavy I used to be would explain enough. If you want to go further, just let them know you made a decision for your health.

I think just like that. .... people usually will take it the way you present it, you know?

I started dating this guy 2 weeks after surgery and I was worried about telling him but after a week of denying dinner dates I had to tell him lol he took it very well and I'm so relieved he knows. Makes me feel closer to him I guess. Just be honest you did it for yourself no one else [emoji4]

He was probably glad you weren't shining him on, lol.

Was he like wait, that's why!? Why didn't you say so?

It really shouldn't be a sit down conversation. But if the subject happens to come up then talk about it. But I don't think its necessary to sit down and have a heart to heart about it.

He thought it was something way worse so when I said surgery he was okay so no dinner dates got it haha I probably should have told him sooner because he asked to be his valentine that day with this giant cookie that I couldn't eat [emoji30]

Haha! I've been telling my boyfriend I'm a cheap date. We can go out to eat and only have to buy one meal because I can only eat a few bites. It still sucks though because I don't really enjoy eating out anymore.
