yet another newbie

HI ANGELIC, I AM A NEWBIE ALSO. NOT ONLY TO THIS FORUM, BUT TO OH ITSELF. I AM 34 AND A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO GREAT KIDS, 12 & 8. ALTHOUGH MY KIDS MEAN THE WORLD TO ME IT IS SOMETIMES VERY DIFFICULT AND ALSO LONELY. SO I CAN RELATE! I AM SORRY TO HERE ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR HUSBAND. SOMETIMES THINGS JUST DON'T TURN OUT AS WE PLANNED THEM TO. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE A STRONG PERSON. RAISING KIDS IS NOT EASY AND EVEN MORE SO WHEN YOU ARE ALONE. BUT IT IS NOT OVER! YOU TOOK A HUGE STEP IN LIFE HAVING THIS SURGERY AND THAT CAN JUST BE THE BEGINNING OF MORE CHANGES TO COME. ALTHOUGH SITUATIONS SOMETIMES SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE, THERE NOT! MY SURGERY IS SET FOR JUNE 21ST AND I AM VERY EXCITED TO GET IT OVER WITH AND GET MY LIFE BACK. WHEN DID YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY? CONGRATULATIONS... ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS. YOU SHOULD BE SO VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK I AM HERE. I AM GOING THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE COMPLETELY ALONE WITH NO HELP FROM FAMILY OR FRIENDS SO I TOO, COULD USE SOME SUPPORT AND A NEW FRIEND. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD ME TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST THAT WOULD BE GREAT. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND BE PROUD OF ALL THAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED ALREADY. I PROMISE, AND YES I SAID PROMISE, THERE ARE BETTER TIMES AHEAD. GET IN TOUCH WITH ME WE'LL TALK MORE.               PRAYERS & BEST WISHES,                      KARRIE
