As of tomorrow, I'm 27 weeks post op. This means that I have averaged a loss of 4.8 pounds per week. I set a personal weight goal of 200 lbs, but I originally said that I'd be happy ending up at 250. So, I'm hoping to keep the average loss high for a while yet.
And, Don, as for you list ... on number 3, do you mean that you will get to see her this coming Tuesday or are you bragging in advance about your sexual performance on Tuesday???

I'm most thankful for the things I'm able to do now that I wasn't able to do 147 pounds ago. Went camping with my son and the Boyscouts this weekend. We did a five mile hike. Didn't know that the hike was going to include rockclimbing 1,000 feet up a mountain. Needless to say it was an exhausting event. I would have been able to do the five mile hike before. But never the rockclimbing portion. It's nice to know that I can handle these little surprises that come up in life.

I’ve now lost the equivalent of a 5000 BTU air conditioner.
I’m thankful for my getting my health back on track and a wonderful support system of family, friends, and co-workers.
I’m grateful for a company health insurance program that covers gastric by-pass surgery.
I thankful for knowing I’ve got another project to go when this one winds down in about 12 months.
