I am not sure how close it is to you but the Support Group at Emory Johns Creek has been  excellent for me for the past 18 months.

Looked Fort Oglethorp up on Bing and it appears you may have better luck going to Chattanoga for a support group.

It appears that we both used Dr. Macik for our WLS last Summer. Your progress is very impressive. Do you go to the Johns Creek Support groups? Are you still having nausea issues? Eating is definitely not the joy it used to be!

Yes I typical go to the Tuesday night group and sometimes make the saturday group.  Nope my nausea has not been an issue since my ulcers have been brought under control.

As for eating well I went from one extreme to the other in eating and exercise.  I now eat to fuel my exercise and really not for much more.  I have my daily calrie goal to hit which I quite often can't. 

For me the most enjoyable meals are the ones I spend with those I care about.  I can eat a prtein bar with friends and enjoy it as much as a steak.  In fact I typically eat the same thing for days at a time.  I enjoy it the first day but the rest of the days it is fuel.

If you see me at group say hi.
