Have you said something to him? Ideally he would be considerate and try to anticipate your household needs, but sometimes people can be a little clueless. My husband is sweet and an equal partner when it comes to doing things around the house, but sometimes he doesn't *see* that things need to be done. I've literally seen him walk by chores totally clueless, but if I mention it he seems happy to do it.

Ride a bike without feeling like a circus act. Walk my dog more than a couple blocks Wear necklaces without worrying about my neck fat Run on a treadmill without my butt hurting (you know when it bounces so hard that it hurts?) Not feel like a total failure when I run into people I went to high school/college with No more thigh chafe Having cheekbones Being able to garden without destroying my knees See my lady parts (TMI?) and MOST OF ALL... Better sex

Ladykatie, I shared your worries! I started therapy about two months ago and it is rough. I've actually gained weight since we're digging around in some traumatic stuff, which has triggered even more emotional eating than ever. I'm a mess, filled with shame and all kinds of nasty bubbling stuff. But I think it's worth it. I keep going back for more. Because I want to be prepared for my surgery, and I want to have tools to use when I suddenly can't turn to food to anesthetize my feelings.

Greetings from sunny & humid Virginia! First - I cannot express how amazing this BP community is. You all are so supportive and full of information and experience! Thank you! Second - I have my consult for RNY gastric bypass in June. And I'm fully invested in making these lifestyle changes. I've started seeing a therapist for my food addiction issues, and attending weight loss surgery seminars and groups & eating disorder support groups. My bmi is currently 46, and I'm convinced that RNY is the tool I need to help me overcome this. My husband and I want to have children in the next few years, and I need to be healthy. I think my doctor is excellent, he has a good reputation and has only had 3 leaks his entire career. He's very open and honest about his work and the dangers of surgery which is strangely reassuring. But still I'm scared of the surgery. The actual part where they cut you open. I've never had surgery (other than Lasik). Everything from the general anesthesia to the drain to blood clots and catheters is terrifying. I would appreciate it greatly if people who've had this procedure could tell me what it's like when you go into the hospital on that day? What happens? Do you just take a sedative and then wake up a few hours later like it's a nap? is the drain as gross as it sounds? Do they give you pain medication for your recovery or do you just have to tough it out? thanks so much!: PS> Also started my blog here: Super Bariatric Babe - I own a comic book shop, thus the goofy title.

Yes! Charlottesville- I'm still in the consult stage, but I'm hoping to get started soon. Nice to see locals on BP!
