Dating- trying out people for the role of "significant other". Dating is a straight-up workout- it takes mental toughness, stamina, and a whole lot of planning to get it right. The rewards can be life long...and so can the scars. In Episode 9, April's friend Veronica (@vko_1977) joins Jason and April to talk all things dating and compare the ups and downs before and after WLS. Having any weight loss procedure can be a real game-changer, but it can also impact and change your dating game. Do you tell people you have had WLS? How will you explain to them that no, you don't hate their cook, you just can't eat a whole lot? Will swatting away someone's act of intimacy always be your natural reaction? Join us for an in-depth conversation around the impacts WLS has had on our relationships and our dating game. 
Adding Value:

The Loveland Foundation- providing free mental health counseling or to women and girls of color nationally. Join April and Jason in donating to this amazing cause and foundation! 

 Headspace- Veronica really enjoys the clarity and calm found in this app.
