I'm going to six flags over Georgia next weekend and I'm pretty nervous about it. Last time I went I was at least 320lb, but maybe a bit higher, and a size 24. I couldn't fit on a few if the rides, and some were uncomfortable, to say the least. I should be at 240 by next weekend and I'm a 16/18. My weight is fairly evenly distributed.

Even though I'll be down at least 80lbs from my first visit I'm still so nervous that I won't fit. I know they have the test seats I can try, but I'm still going to be so disappointed if I don't fit. I was mortified last time. I keep telling myself a 16 is just a tiny bit above an average size so I should fit. Anyone have any advice, words of wisdom or encouragement.

16-18 is a good size. You should fit fine. Try it! Have fun! :-)

Just think. By summer's end you could be maybe a Size 12? Imagine it... :-)

Did you go? How about a update.

We had so much fun! I had two nerve racking moments.

One was on a Water slide. A sign was posted that said there was a 250lb weight limit, I normally would have just tried to slide by and hope they didn't check but then I realized I didn't even have to worry about it anymore which was really nice.

I got on the batman ride and I was so nervous because that's the one that was a no go last time. Well it didn't "click" I was almost heart broken, and then I realized it's not suppose to click, you have to buckle yourself. I buckled the seat with no issue and had a couple of inches to spare. It was a great feeling.

So I had no issues what so ever and I didn't have to spend a dime on food.

It was so crowded we didn't get to ride very many rides and in dying to go back. Charlotte is a little closer so I think we're going to go get a season pass for Carowinds and spend our vacation there.

I am looking forward to the day that I can go to SixFlags. The last time I went, of course you have to wait an hour to ride a ride, when it was finally our turn, the seat belt didn't click either, my daughter and I had to get up and leave. I was humiliated. everyone staring and wondering what was going on. I went straight to the bathroom and cried. Next summer I should be able to go back.

I am so glad you had fun. Congrats on your weight loss.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
