How’s dating been for sleevers out there? Just wondering when would be the right time to say anything or if you should say anything. I’m just wondering during outings, like at dinner with someone new you’re dating, and maybe didn’t tell them you had surgery, how do you handle it. I’m thinking they would start to notice how you’re eating...or not eating, especially in the very beginning when you’re on liquids and puréed. I haven’t had surgery yet, hopefully I’ll be approved before the year is up.

I'm 23 days postop and I met my friend 2weeks before my surgery on 9/21/17..I told him about it..he didnt like the idea but went with it and has been supportive...our first date,I was in the starch free stage but we still went out and had a big funeral meal for all the stuff I couldn't eat....after surgery and loosing about 20lbs,my energy is through the roof..mind you he's a big guy and loves to eat,I fix his plate and palm size plate and it works fine[emoji6]

I would think it would be a great indication on the quality of person you date. If someone can't handle what you are doing to better yourself, then they aren't worth investing your time in. If it's just a casual date or something you aren't feeling , then I would just order soup or something and say you aren't that hungry.

So true!
