Looking For A Buddy In The Bay Area!

My surgery was on 7/31/12 and it would be great to have a buddy or two share experiences and go through this journey together! I'm almost 32 and my starting BMI was 32. I live in the East Bay (CA).

Hello I'm from the North Bay. I'd love to have a buddy.

I just turned 49 and my BMI is 51. I'm 5' and have been dealing with my weight my whole adult life.

Good luck!! Let me know how it goes. How's your pre-op meal plan going? I have to lose 8lbs before surgery, but Im having trouble getting in all my food right now.

How are you doing so far? Almost 1 month out, congrats!

The Dr wanted me on 1500 calories a day to loose the 15 lbs. I've been averaging between 1300 and 1500. Down 12 lbs. Started water Zumba three times a week, and love it.

Where is the water Zumba? I would really like to try that. And good job on being 12lbs!!

In Suisun City by Fairfield @ the Kroc center. Its such a beautiful facility. You should check out places close to you. It is so much fun. Don't feel like i'm exercising, I love it. Wish they had it everyday.

I got my date 12 Nov. Yeah... it could have been sooner if I had stopped smoking sooner.
