Would like PenPal who is 5 weeks Post Op
Hey Boo, you don't mind if I call you just Boo, do you?
I am 7 weeks post-op. I had RNY on August 18 in San Antonio, Texas with Dr. Nalish Patel.(however I live in Kyle, that's near Austin). I have been wanting to find a penpal, too!
A little about me: I am nearing the mid-century mark, a mother of 3 band kids from 23yrs tio 15 yrs, 1 dog and 1 cat, divorced, returning to school for the first time since 1981, and love, love, love watching Project Runway, Law and Order: SVU, The Closer, Dancing with the Stars, and Top Chef. Since starting my WLS journey, I have lost close to 70 lbs, but that is with the pre-op weight loss. Since the surgery, I have had some set backs like swelling, developing a whats it called...a stricture?? You know, can't keep solids down because the scar tissue has healed to tight. Well if you don't, that's alright. I hope it doesn't happen to you. I am down to 269 lbs and don't fit into most of my clothes. Man that feels good to say that!!
Well, now that I have show you that I like to talk I will stop for now. Let me know about you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jo
I also have 3 kids, My oldest son (CJ) is 23 My daughter (Nicole) is 17 and my youngest son (Salvatore) is 11. I was a band parent with my daughter. It was an awesome time. SHe just graduated HS and started the Police Academy, so no more Band for me
.
You have done awesome with your weight loss so far. I feel like i'm stuck. I only lost 24 lbs in 4 weeks. I really need to get out and walk more. But things around here have been really crazy and I've been running around for everyone else.
I'm sorry to hear about your stricture. I've never heard of that complication before. I hope the dr can correct that for you.
If you want, if it's easier for you, you can contact me on Facebook or email me at [email protected]. I don't get onto the computer much, but I do get updates to my phone by FB & e-mail.
Talk to you soon

Hi Boo,
My name is Karrie and I live in Oregon. My RNY surgery was done on Aug. 31, 2010. I too am looking for a pen pal just to talk to and maybe learn new things from. I am a 52 yr. old with two grown boys, 30 and 26. I live with my fiance Larry. There are so many things about surgery and what follows after that I have that I have questions about. I m at the soft food stage and it's about to KILL ME!!. I can't find enough foods that have alot of protein that I like to get the thru the day. I'm so afraid my hair is going to fall out. lol I have been to Obesity Help.com in forum/chat room but it's too busy, and I'd like to talk person-to-person in any form. I look forward to your reply, Boo.
Thanks
Karrie
