MN/ND 11 weeks post op. Need penpal for friendship

I am 32 years old and had bypass 7/20/2010.  I have lost 67 lbs so far. I am a wife, mother of a 7yr old boy, and work full time.  I would love to make new friends to share my ups and downs and maybe new recipes!

Hello, I will be 32 in November.  I am a wife, mother of an 11 year old girl and a 5 year old boy and also work full time.  I have not had my surgery yet but it is schedualed on the 28 of this month.  I am also looking for people to chat with and get some advice from, ect.  I understand I am not at the same point you are but if you would like, we can chat back and forth.  Oh and by the way, congrats on the lbs lost so far!!  Way to go.
Hope to hear back from you,
Tanya

Congrats on your surgery!  It's just nice to have someone to talk to.  I'm pretty convinced that my non-bypass friends are so tired of listening to me talk about food, surgery, side effects and food, food , food.  What do you do for work?  I am a receptionist in a dental office 4 days a week.  My husband works 6 twelve hour night shifts a week so I am alone with my son 90% of the time.  This last year prior to surgery I did gain about 40 lbs because of eating due to loneliness, depression issues.  So it felt like a long road to get here.  I wish I would have done my surgery 10 years ago cuz I feel so good.  If you have any questions or concerns at all or need advice I am here.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Beth,
I am sooo sorry I didn't respond back sooner.  I have been checking my email each day waiting for replies and haven't seen any so I decided to come in and check my posts and there you are.  I guess I better learn how to use this site a little better =D.  
I am ok with listening to you about whatever you want to talk about.  If you have any problems or advice talk away. 
I work as a cook in a nursing home, one of the reasons I have put on so much weight in the past 4 years.  I am working under my sister-in-law and sometimes it is REALLY hard.  Lots of family drama and I am kinda stuck in the middle, married to the brother and the sister is my boss.  CRAZY!!!
I guess my biggest concern is after surgery and loss of weight, what do you do to help with the hanging skin?  I have lost 46 lbs since I started my 6 months dr visits and now starting this crazy liquid diet before the surgery.  I have noticed jiggly already and I am very scared about it getting worse.  I have been drowning myself in lotion as much as possible but not sure if that is even helping. 
Got any advice about what to take for my hospital stay?  Gonna get me a new pair of jammies, a robe and some slippers,  I already have my chapstick because I was told it was horrible for chapped lips.
Well thanks for chatting with me, even thought it took me forever to get back with you.  I promise to look more closely next time.
Hope to hear from you soon,
