Toronto Girl *looking for a mentor**

[**LaSaJaTa** 4]

Hello Everyone,

I'm located in Toronto, and due to be Sleeved by Dr. Aceves on 15th of July, 2010. I have been reading all the posts on this awesome website, and thanks to all the great information, and wonderful support found here, I've decided to take control, and change my life!!

I've just started working with a Holistic Nutritionalist, and am currently trying to find a trainer who will start working with me 8 weeks post op.

I'm pumped and ready! My husband is very supportive, and is 100% behind me, which is awesome! I have 2 children, 8 and 10 yrs, and they just know that mommie has stopped smoking (finally) and is getting healthy and fit. They too are very supportive of my new "get fit" attitude!

The one thing I find that I could really use is a "buddy" who has gone through this....while my nutritionalist has had experience with other gastric surgeries, she is very focused on the holistic side of things, which is great, but not necessarily practical (I think).

So, is there any CANADIAN'S out there who have been throught this? I say "Canadians" because I'm finding it very difficult to find a lot of the food and protien items the USA sleevers mention or discuss in the forums, and am hoping to connect with someone in Ontario, or Canada who knows were to buy this stuff, rather than having it shipped up from the USA at a crazy price!

If you'd like to buddy with me, I would be most eager and greatful!
