walking partners--how to find

Does anyone have any ideas about places on-line or otherwise to find walking friends?  I have friends who walk but I'm not in the best of shape (11 days post op) and they walk way too fast for me to keep up!  I'd love to find another weight loss surgery type.

Any advice is appreciated. 

Ask at the local support group...If they look creepy, op out.  If you have a problem with places to go consider things like; the local high school (when school's out), local college or JC, mall, trails, and local neighborhoods.  For me, when the weather is bad, I will put on some old rock music and walk inside the house...Make my little pathway.  Good luck on your journey...Brian  PS  Take a gander on the California Board...You might find someone there.
