Topic: RE: Lunch Bunch this Saturday, June 12?
I got an email from Susan today and I THINK that the Lunch Bunch will be at Longhorn somewhere near Cool Springs or Old Hickory Blvd in Brentwood...
That is the last that I heard, but that could change.

Topic: Hey folks - just checkin' in!
Hey there all my Tennessee Forum friends! How ya'll been? It's been a while since I have posted, but I've been busier than a cat covering up it's business the last 6 months! Here's the short scoop:
1) Retired from the city Dec. 31, 2009, after 30 years of service
2) Started a home repair business 1 week later
3) My 80 year old mother was hospitalized in March for over 2 months with severe blood infection that settled in her spine - she nearly died - she's still trying to recuperate but will never be independent again.
4) My 86 year old mother-in-law has had 4 major strokes in the last six weeks - currently in the hospital in bad shape.
As you can see, I've been stretched to the max and no end in sight for the immediate future. The wife and I work every day, then go take care of an elderly parent at night. But at least I'm able to do it - no way I could have before WLS! I feel great and my weight is holding between 170 - 176 lbs., and I've had no health issues since my surgery!
Hope to be able to get back here more often in the future.
Ya'll all take care.

Topic: One year ago today...
I was 63 lbs heavier, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea. Here it is a year later and I have none of those things and have loved living life again. No it isn't all pretty boxes and bows. I have struggled along the way and do daily with eating the right foods probably why I am not at my goal weight yet I fail a lot and I feel a little like I failed myself, but I am so much happier and healthier then I have been in years.
As much as I struggle it's the best decision I have ever made. I would do it 100 times over.
Just wanted to share my joy.
Thanks,
Sher

Happy Birthday Michael! Traveling anywhere exciting? I may try to make Lunch Bunch depending on when/where it is. :-) It will be my last event before my "plastics".
Hope to see some of you there!

No, the closest DS group would be the Nashville one, they meet this Thursday night (see John's post for details). We also have a DS group in Cookeville.

Topic: RE: Tina is out of surgery
I don't come here much anymore, but Tina was on my mind just the other day and to see that she has had surgery and is doing well is an answer to prayer!!! So glad to see that you have finally been able to do what you have wanted for so long, I will continue to hold you in my prayers!!

Thanks for the update Cheryl. I am so glad Tina is out of surgery and hopefully she is already up and walking. I know this has been a long journey for her but I am so glad she has finally had surgery and is on her way to loosing lots of weight (and getting healthier too 
)

Susan was out of town over the weekend and likely has not chosen a place, but I'm sure if you would give her some suggestions, I bet you may get to pick the location!
I will not be able to attend this month as I will be going out of town for my birthday on Sunday and will be working an earlier shift on Saturday.
I hope you all have fun!
Michael.
