Huge NSV at an amusement park



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I wanted to share a huge NSV for me today. I spent the day with my 14 year old son at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. We had a wonderful time. I was able to ride on all the rides with him. This has been a long journey for me. I'm down 78 lbs from my high 2 years ago. And while I was just banded last June and I'm down 52 lbs I really would like to lose another 50 this year. Its been really hard on me and I just pray I can continue to grow in this journey. I started to exercise again this week in the hopes of continuing to lose the weight. I know how you all feel when I tell you how much it means to me to no longer use a seat belt extender, walk 2 on a treadmill or not be able to ride an amusement park ride. I can honestly say I am happy to report I can do all 3 now.

Julie

Way to go

Pat yourself of the back because we all know how hard even with the band it is. Some people think just because your banded the weight just falls off by itself. I'm so proud of you and for you and just think what memories you made.

Rene, yes the Big Dipper was the second ride we went on. I have to tell you. I was nervous going into each ride thinking I wouldn't fit but I did! Julie

I'm still not banded, hopfully 4/20. But this is one of the reasons I want to git fit. I have a 8 yr old son and 3 yr old Girl. And the last time Me and My wife went to an amusment park. I was way bigger than the last time, and could not ride some of the rides. I was so sad for my 8 yr old he had to ride by himself. And I wanted to hide. Oh the shame.

What a great NSV! I've been dying to go to the Lagoon Amusement Park but the rides always have this "If you weight too much your butt gets booted of in front of everyone" sign.. ok that's my wording but theirs has the same meaning. I can't wait til I can go on the rides!

396power, that is fantastic news. What are your stats? How much do you want to lose? I'm considered an average loser at 1 lb a week. It really adds up though. I'm happy with my 52 lbs in 10 months. I'll take it. Best of luck. Julie

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
