Amusement park rides



Recommended Posts

Went to the amusement park the other day and it was great not having to worry if the safety bar would come down. Little do my friends know that is why I haven't been to one in years. My highest weight when I started my journey was 363 now down to 210. Glad I embarked on this lifelong trip.

This is one of the things I am looking forward to the most! I want to lose about 20 more lbs to be sure I won't have any issues and then I'm heading to the nearest amusement park (Dollywood) even if I have to go by myself. None of my nearby friends like amusement parks -- don't understand that at all!

My children are 19, 15 & 13. It's sad to say, this past summer was the first time I've been on a ride with the kids since my oldest was 13... (I went with him on a class trip, got stuck on one of the rides...both of us died of embarassment, I never rode again)

We went to Eliches and rode EVERY RIDE TWICE!!! OMG we had so much fun. That day alone made my surgery worth more than all the gold in the world. My kids were so happy...

Now I want to ride a horse! Since I won't torture the poor beast now!! :)

Ya know, I used to LOVE amusement parks. But I just can't convince myself to get on one now! Lol!

So happy that you were able to ride with your kids! That is truly amazing!

Congrats!

They scare the crap outta me! Lol! I have no fear of heights, I'm just super weary of everything! Things go wrong everyday. I think it has alot to do with childhood, when I was forced on the tallest roller coaster in the world... In Texas at Astroworld. It may have scarred me for life. Lol

I like the stupid kiddy rides... Like the train and the elephants... Lol!

I would MUCH rather ride a live animal, than a machine... Which makes zero sense. Lol!

      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!!
