Milestone

I AM OUT OF THE 300s!!!!!!!!!!  299.8 is my weight.  I have lost a total of 66 lbs.  I haven't been out of the 300s for at least four years.  I feel great.

I have been keeping in touch with other people that have had surgery.  Firstly, there is my wife, who had surgery almost two weeks ago.  Secondly, there is this guy that had the exact same surgery, on the exact same day that I did.  I met him in the hospital, and we exchanged phone numbers.  We talk at least weekly.  Thirdly, I have a friend that had surgery about a month before I did.  I stay in touch with her as well.  I like to surround myself with as many people that have had surgery that I can.  I figure that if I have a problem, then they might have experienced the same thing. 

In keeping in touch with these people, I have realized that, in my journey, I am very lucky.  My recovery was very easy compared to them, and my weight loss is going faster as well.  I am really a very lucky person.
