penpal needed- having RNY in my 20's
I am in my late 20's and live in the midwest. I really need someone who know's the stress of having kids and a full time job. I am not telling anyone (except for my husband of course!) about what type of surgery I am having, so I would love someone to chat with about the day to day worries of the approaching date. I am having surgery Sept. 21, the day after my oldest daughters birthday which has me feeling really guilty. I know the surgery will give me the energy so that I can give my kids the attention they need, but I still feel bad about the birthday. I work in a bank, so I listen to people tell me what's on their mind all day (sometimes I feel like a bartender)! I really need to vent! My family is very healthy, my husband is a healthy weight (as was I when we got married) so he doesn't understand the stress of being tired all the time, but he's supportive. Someone help!
