Looking for an AZ buddy!

Hello...it would be nice to find a mentor/buddy in Arizona. I had my lap band removed on 9/27/13 due to complications and have already been approved for my sleeve surgery. My doctor wants me to lose 50 pounds becore he will do the sleeve.

I started the pre-op liquid diet today. It was tough, but I made it through it.
