Would like to find some close to talk with Thanks!

Don't know how close you consider Orange County? But happy to chat anytime.

Hi Aunt May! I live on Long Island NY but lived in beautiful Escondido when I was in my 20's (1980's). I worked for the Times Advocate newspaper. Missed my family so I returned back East. My two teenage daughters tease me-whenever I chat to strangers they call it Escondido-ing (telling my life story!) anyway, when I saw your tag line it made my morning!

Well I have to says its grown!! I have only lived here 8 years I grew up in the desert and moving back soon it's way to busy here for me! So you have had the sleeve?

How's it working for you?

I was sleeved 10/11/12. It's been rough, Iknew that when I signed up for it. For me, my deteriorating health (Pre diabetes, sleep anea: both reversed already!!, back/feet problems, etc....) made me realize I had but one choice after regaining lost weight at least a dozen times in my lifetime only to find myself getting bigger and bigger again and it was really affecting my life! I've lost a total of 52 pounds since August when I started Pre-op diet. Since surgery, I've lost 29.5 pounds! I am thrilled! I am taking it slow adding new foods and am veering toward soft foods still. I'm working on slowing down too. I eat way too fast further limiting my intake. It's ok! Ive got my goals and I'm meeting them! Food is taking less of a top priority in my life. Protein-yes, food-not so much! Where are you on the journey?
