Good question! I don't know if the Nashville DS group meets anymore. If you do find him, tell him I said "Hi!".

I'm doing OK. Knee surgery is not for sissies! One good thing: I was becoming a carb guzzling monster and gained 10 pounds. Since my knee surgery, I have pushed the protein for better healing and not had the access to carbs like I did before. I lost that 10 pounds! Gotta love the DS!

Hey Rhonda - I am still around and doing well... just been real busy with work and living life as a skinny normal person. I did delete my facebook this week as I hardly every used it and saw no need to keep it going. Dr. Houston actually called me today because I had to reschedule my 2 1/2 year appointment and he wanted to make sure I was doing ok.
As some of you know I was running two DS support groups (one in Cookeville and one in Nashville) but the turnout was so low and I think part of that is due to after a while - DSer's are like normal people and we don't struggle with our weight and we don't need as much support as someone with the RNY. So needless to say both of these groups were cancelled becasue of lack of interest. This has made some free time for me and I have joined a bowling league and a volleyball league and stay pretty busy with work.
Just as an FYI for everyone - I had my surgery on 02/24/2009 (2 1/2 years ago yesterday). I started this journey in January 2009 weighing 480 pounds and wearing a 6X top and 62 inch waist. I am now hovering in the 180's (I am 6 ft 2) and wear a 33 inch waist and a M or L top. I eat what I want when I want... I have some gas issues but it is not painful so I keep on eating...LOL
I am actually trying to get up to 192 or so just to see if my body will gain back that high (I never in a million years thought I would ever say that).
If anyone wants to contact me I am always available by email [email protected] is the best way to contact me.
I can honestly say the DS changed my life forever and I would not change one thing about it.
