Welllll.....Long story short, recently broke off a 7 year relationship....(for all the right reasons), anyway I joined match.com to get back in the game not really expecting anything.  None the less Ive been talking to two guys and am meeting one for a drink on Tuesday, yes I drink, spare me the gasps.  So ive gone from 317 lbs to 148....I look pretty good with clothes on and am so taken back when attractive men hit on me, I am so confused when guys tell me I'm hot, I mean its nice and everything but Im still so uncomfortable about it, so I am meeting this guy, really good looking, good job, homeowner etc etc and I obviously am going to wait to see if we have any chemistry before telling him about my surgery.....but really its the skin I mean I can hide it on a date but eventually if things go anywhere, with anyone in the future I am sooooo afraid.  I feel like any guy I tell I used to be that big is going to be immediatley turned off and if I ever have to take my clothes off in the light hes gonna puke...Im so afraid I dont want to be deceitful I just dont know when to bring these things up when I eventually get in a serious relationship....I feel like I need an anxiety med and its not even tuesday yet...I dont know how to date Ive never had the chance....help

Why are you ashamed of your body? do you exercise? im asking because i just got my approval and scheduled for sleeve surgery July 25th, as i began this wl journey, i dont want to end up with alot of loose skin, so i plan to join a gym.....

not ashamed, just afraid of guys reactions....skin is pretty much inevitable....not sure how much you weigh....but I started at 317 and have worked out and have been running and I have skin....working out wont combat it, just minimize it slightly....maybe

Keep in mind that even those that exercise can very well end up with loose skin. It happens all the time.

 Maria!  love your new photo, you look great!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Yeah I know. I have a very limited comfort zone as well. We should be snow birds! :-)

Joining a gym is great.  Won't solve a loose skin problem though. The loose skin that we're left with has been stretched and damaged - I'm afraid no amount of exercise it going to cure damaged skin.

If you are going for a relationship with true LOVE !!!!!!!......the guy will love you for you, and not your body. You will know when the time is right to tell him. If you are looking for a relationship without love ??????? Take the xanx and get him drunk.
