Disney lost...I WON!!



Recommended Posts

I am so proud of myself from this weekend...I made it thru 3 days of every single park at Disney World and I never ate anything at the parks!! I came back to our cabin at Ft Wilderness to eat my healthy stuff I brought w/ me. Passing by the turkey legs, all the wonderful smelling pretzel & churro stands & especially my weakness...the Confectionary!! I LOVE Disney fudge & choc covered hard pretzels there!! But I did it!! I wore my bodybugg & it showed I walked 9.5 miles during the 3 days! My legs are killing me!! My preop diet started yesterday & we were still at Ft Wilderness, my entire family decides to go to the most amazing Breakfast buffet, I look so forward to going to this buffet everytime we are there so I knew it was gonna be tough, but I couldnt skip it since my entire family never gets together except for these trips. It was so shocking to me that, I was able to get thru it! I did have 1 bite of a mickey mouse waffle (my FAV!) & it tasted so gross! I dont know if anyone has been to this buffet, but the bacon is to die for! I had 1 small corner off a piece & almost threw up. The grease after so many weeks of watching my carbs was just sickening. So funny how our taste for carbs changes when we eat high Protein for awhile! So I drank my fat free milk and my orange juice and I was proud of me!! LOL The waiter noticed I hadnt eaten & asked if I was ok. When I told him why, he told me he had lapband surgery a yr ago & he was 380lbs before surgery & he was down to 170lbs & he looked GREAT! When he brought the check he had taken off the $25.00 for my food without even asking if we wanted the charge removed. (We never would have asked) The best part, I came home from Disney World 5 lbs lighter than when I left!! :lol: Not many ppl can say that!! I usually gain at least 5lbs when I go there!! Off to change my ticker!! :unsure:

Lynn, .You did so well. I think It's cool that your waiter had LB and took your "meal" off the bill.

Lynne, I too have noticed that certain things do not taste the same. You did an awesome job coming home 5 pounds lighter....Congratulations! I loved Disney when we went there so many many many years ago. I've already told my husband I want to go back with the grandkids in a few years.

Ok you did way better than I did. I also just got back from Disney and ate like a normal person. I cannot say that I overate but I did not watch what I ate. We had 5 days there and I believe it when you say you walked 9.5 miles in 3 days. I did not however gain anyweight so the walking must have helped. Good job to you!! I wish I would have had more self control.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
