I want to ride a roller-coaster too!!! I moved right next to Kings island and have yet to ride any of the roller coaster with my son and husband! I grew up in Orlando and spent my life riding the rides!!! Now I'm scared to not be able to fit!

I live near Kings Island too!! Well, I'm about a half hour away closer to Cincinnati but my husband works off of the same exit as KI. We were there today just for a little while to activate our gold passes. I'm 5 days post-op so I'm taking things slowly. My youngest is 4 so I mostly stood around with him in lines and walked. It was exhausting but I've been told the first two weeks are the worst!

I did the Zombie run a week before my surgery- in Amsbury MA. And I scanned the crowd and I was the biggest chubbiest person there.. I was slow- and made my friends go on without me. But I finished it. I can't wait to do it again next year- hopefully 100lbs lighter!! I just want to fit

On roller coasters with my son.. And travel without needing an extra seatbelt extender on airplanes!!

Definitely cannot wait for cheaper clothes and a ride on a roller coaster. My husband already wants to go window shopping. I just had my surgery on 5/22.

My goal: I told my 9 yr old son that once I lost enough weight that next summer we are going to an amusement park and ride rides together! Can't wait to enjoy life to its fullest! And not have to worry if the bar will lock, or if the seatbelt latches!! He can't wait!!

I want to do an AFF skydive, I've did a tandem when I was about 50lbs lighter but looked like a stuffed sausage in the jumpsuit.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
