Dating 10 years post weight loss surgery
I made a decision at 22 to have gastric sleeve. I could count on one hand the people I told. I’ve carried shame in my decision prior to even having surgery- I wish I didn’t make this decision and I wish I could have just been more disciplined. Now I’m been dating guy for 6 months. Very slow burn of a relationship. It’s quite obvious how little I eat when we go out and I know it can come off as rude or like I didn’t enjoy my meal. He will always comment on how little I eat (he’s never mean and I’ve also just joked about because that always how I deal with anything j comfortable). Anyway, we are in our 30s. He is very old school and conservative and I fear telling him this information 1. Because it now seems like I’ve been hiding something and he really values being up front and real and 2. I don’t know how he will react. I’ve always feared this part of dating and I know a lot of it has to do with my own feelings of shame around my decision. How have others approached this?
