Pen Pal...Need A Shoulder, A Confidant in Cali

Young mom in Southern California, needs a pen pal...a gal pal to bond with through this WLS journey. None of my normal friends seem to understand. :) 

hi
my name is rebecca and im originally from southern cali , i moved to tn in 2009 and wish i was back in calif.. i am 48yrs old and in march of 2006 i had my rny done at ucla hospital by dr. dutson ,wonderful dr. very informative and very kind. i have lost lots of weight. so how far are you in the process. if you have any questions i would be happy to answer what i can but if not the cali board is great for questions and you will get answers . i wish you all the best on your journey .
if you want to keep writing as pen pals i would be happy to keep in touch. everyone who goes through this process cant have enough pen pals or even better friends,. who understand what we are doing and going through..

Hi, I’m new to this so bare with me.  My name is Donna and I now live in southern cali (moved from northern calif).  I had the lap band in 2009.  None of my friends seem to understand either.  It’s not a easy topic with/for them since they’re all sticks~ I’ve always been the funny chubby girl.  So I’m here if you want to chat, write, etc.

Take care,

Donna

 

finally! someone who had the lap band! I hear u girl! some people at work have been down right mean to me about it, they don't understand its a disease and we need a little help. if we were herion addicts we could "just stop"! unfortunatly we can't "just stop" eating or we'd die. they don't understand the distinction. the only ones who objected were "sticks" for me too. they don't get it and it makes me angry sometimes also. I've been out for 3 wks and when i go back to work on monday i don't know what i'll say to some of those sticks, I'm tempted to tell them off. I'm worried in the stress of things like life i'm going to back slide.
