Recommended Posts

I just got back from Orlando, Fl on vacation with my family, and I hadn't been there since I was a teenager (and much smaller), I was so nervous about not being able to fit on the rides. But I'm more than happy to inform that, not only did I fit, but comfortably, and with plenty of room leftover in all rides. I was able to enjoy every single ride with my family in 5 different parks. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!:thumbup:

Isn't it amazing!! I had the same experience this past Spring Break. I was so happy to be so much smaller than I was a year ago at that time. Congratulations on your wonderful success!!

That is wonderful!!!! My husband and I are taking our children in Aug and I am hoping that by then I will be down a few sizes too and able to fit into all of the rides with out worry. We went to kings island this past summer and I fit on all the rides but some were a tight squeeze. There were a few I avoided at Cedar Point because they had the seat at the front of the line so that large people could make sure they fit before they waited in line. OMGoodness like there would be anything worse then trying to squeeze my big butt into a small seat infront of tons of people!!! no thanks :cool2: Anyway congrats on your success I am looking forward to my future loss :thumbup:

Thanks, Guys. I once had to leave the superman ride at six flags in front of everyone, I felt humiliated :thumbup:

But now, thanks to my band, those days are long gone.

It has been years since I have gone to Cedar point, but I actually would prefer to try the seat out front, than wait in line all the way up to getting in the car, and having the attendant ask me to leave. I had that happen, and I would much prefer the seat out front from now on.

The good news is I am down almost 80 lbs, and my kids are asking if we can go this summer. If the trend continues, I will schedule something in Aug I think. :thumbup:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
