Well everyone I have been so happy with my band and trying so hard. There are times when I am just like man why did I eat that. Nobodys perfect but I am happy with my progress.

Well Saturday I have my first date. I haven't gone on a date in FOREVER:eek:. I am very excited but also very nervous. He has said nothing but nice things and has been a total gentleman. He told me he used to over 400lbs and now I think he is like 245. Once he told me that I decided to open and upfront about my surgery. I told him and he was so cool with it. He says he actually wants it. I think he looks fine but he thinks he wants it now.

Well I am blabbing on and on I guess I wrote this just so I could get some support and advice on handling my first date in YEARS!! Any advice would be great I am so NERVOUS!! Thanks all!

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!! I'm excited for ya. Try not to dribble don't talk about politics or your exes and you should be fine. Between you and me I've not been on a date in 3 years! I would love to just doesn't seem to be anyway asking lately

Congratulations!!! How exciting? How did you meet? Sounds great since you have already talked about your surgery and he is supportive, that is a great start with communicating. Do you know where you are going or what you're doing? Can't wait to hear how it goes. I have not dated in years either. Was married to my teenage love for 21 years and he divorced me last year....he wanted to be single. I am trying to move on with life now and trying to get healthier for myself and my children. Have a great time!!:rolleyes2:

OMG! Good Luck. Just go and have fun and be yourself. Your secret is out so it should make it that much easier! :rolleyes2:

Awww, congrats and have fun! :blushing:

Sooo.....how was it? :sad:

Yes, how did the date go? I hope you have a great time! Another date planned?

Well as everyone knows I had my first date over the weekend. Things went very well. He was so sweet and kind. We have gone out again on Monday night as well. There is a connection but I am really taking it slow cause I don't want to get hurt. We will be going out again on Saturday so I am really looking forward to that. Thank you for everyones support. It was so nice. I hope things continue to stay positive and I look forward to seeing where the relationship goes. Thanks everyone.:scared2:
