Hey, I too am going to Disney World in October so have been doing some research. Like everyone has already said, Disney is the most plus size friendly theme park out there. A great website I've found with reports on how people of varying weights fit in the rides and which rides to avoid is WDW At Large. Hope it's useful. Now my goal is to get to around 250lbs for my trip because I've heard that Universal isn't so size friendly and I'm determined to ride that darn Harry Potter ride!

Haha, I know this feeling well. I was constantly on the defensive every time the cat came anywhere near me! I was repeating "not the stomach, not the stomach!" at my friend's little boy just the other day.

I'm just under a month out and I'm on nothing other than a multi Vitamin. My hospital didn't pander me with painkillers either: by day two they just packed me off with some paracetamol if the pain got bad, which I rarely used. All I'm concentrating on is eating right and drinking enough Water. Granted, I wasn't on any meds pre-surgery and in generally good health, but it's not all doom and gloom and worry post-surgery. Ignore the what ifs!

Hey, Just wanted to pop in to say hello. I'm 27 now, turning 28 in two days time. I don't want to spend my thirties messing everything up like I did in my twenties all because of food. Year of success 2011, woo!

I really struggled to lay on my back for over a week after surgery. It just felt like everything was pulling, I was panicking that I couldn't breathe properly and it really hurt to go from a lying to a standing position. I too went down the sitting up in a recliner or on the bed propped up with pillows. I'm quite a fussy sleeper and never thought I'd be able to sleep that way, but trust me, you'll be so exhausted that you'll sleep regardless! I finally got onto my side maybe two and a half weeks post surgery - ahh, it was heaven.

Hi, I am 7 days post op today and I think on the same kind of diet of you. And I get EXACTLY how you feel! My family have been eating fried chicken, bacon and all sorts over the last few days and I seriously felt so compelled to eat, despite knowing I couldn't as a few spoonfuls of yoghurt right now are making me so full. People keep saying to me, "Oh, food shouldn't bother you now," which is the complete opposite of the truth. I'm finding the head hunger a lot harder to overcome than I thought. I guess it also comes with feeling down and ill all the time too. When I'm like this, all I usually do is eat to make me feel better so it's a hard transition. Keep at it. I'm feeling a bit less sick every day. Last night was the first time I managed to sleep lying down on my back rather than sitting up in a recliner chair. Would much rather be snoozing on my side but that seems a long way off right now! Lex
