My Honey and I were talking about my WLS and just trying to put some things into perspective....like going out to eat and stuff. We try to go out once every 2 weeks for a "date night"....just a nice dinner without kids. Dont get me wrong, I love my children....but sometimes its nice to have peace and quiet! With 5 kids, lemme tell ya, I have learned to enjoy the sound of SILENCE. What will happen after my surgery? We may have to find other things to do on date night!!
Its quite a way away (since I dont actually have a date set yet) so I will worry abotu it later. I always say I only have enough worry space in my brain for one thing at a time!!

One of the other topics that came up, was how, maybe if I got very thin I would think about leaving him for some young sexy 20-something.
I knew that was going to come up sooner or later.

He made it out to be a joke but I could tell there was some truth and worry behind it. And the reality is, it doesnt matter what I tell him, I think he will still worry about it. He is quite overweight himself and I think maybe that adds to his insecurity about it.
I gave him all the reassurance I could but in the end, he will have to decide for himself. I felt a bit sorry for him, knowing there was really no way I could "fix" his issue.

Not to mention the idea of banging a 20-something, although appealing in the fantasy sense of it- really holds very little appeal for me. I remember when I *was* 20-something and how awkward, hurried and inexperienced 20 yr olds were!! And dumb!!!! Ugh!!

Luckily, the ones in my fantasies never speak ;)
