Need a buddy/mentor!

Hi Everyone! I previously introduced myself on other logs, but I guess ideally this is the place where this should take place!

So, a little about me! I am Sarah, 26 years old, and from upstate New York. I am having my surgery in Westchester County, near NYC, tomorrow 8/4! I am a nurse, currently working with individuals with developmental disabilities. I was previously and EMT, ER nurse, as well as a CNA back in the day.

My last weigh in at the Doctor was 218. My highest when I was starting pre-op was 227. My all time high last year was 233. My goal weight is between 130-140. I am 5'3'', so I believe that is obtainable. I have no children, but I have a long term boyfriend who has been by my side through all of this.

I am looking for someone who is around my age, give or take 5 years or so, who knows the struggles of being a "young person" with busy lives and lots of fun! I also am a very picky eater, so someone who has a lot of great recipes would certainly help! I am pretty much open to anyone as long as there is a connection!

I am excited to get to know you, and I fully support each one of you individually in your journeys.

I just had my band on 11/15 and I'm also a nurse. I'm 36 but we have a lot in common, if your still interested in a buddy. I'm nervous and struggling so your input would be helpful
