Would you?

date an obese person after having surgery.....

 

 

Just curious and thought I put it out there..    So far I am not sure if I woiuld

Clearly different issue if this is a new person not someone that you were already dating.

If a new person, I would think that we may have lifestyle compatibility issues. At this stage (14 months), I am still finding new ways to entertain myself and cope with stress without food. I'm also more interested in developing non-food related hobbies.  People who have WLS often gain it back if they don't adopt a different lifestyle. At this stage, I would be concerned with my own weakness and fear of turning back to the lifestyle that harmed me so much in the first place.

I would befriend an obese person, but I would probably have an aspect of my life that is different and incompatible with their lifestyle.  That depends on their activity level.  There is a certain level of incompatibility that prevents growth in a relationship beyond a certain point. 

I would...and have...NOT a huge issue for me. No pun intended

 I would.  My husband is obese, and I don't care :)  I've always dated heavier guys because I've always been a heavy gal and felt more comfortable around them.

Hmmm you like the "chunk hunks"... ...eh?    Maybe I should pack on a few pounds then?  Lol!
