A Harry Potter Nsv



Recommended Posts

Hi all, Today I reached a major personal NSV. We have been planning on going to Universal Orlando and visit the Harry Potter attraction. When they first opened there was talk about the seats on one ride being small. They made the outer seat larger so overweight people could ride but they were still small and it was a bit of a stigma if you had to sit there because "everyone knows" Well today I got on the ride I was alone because I was the only one brave enough to ride. The seat that was available was an end seat but an attendant had me switch seats to an inner one so the other person could be more comfortable!!!!!!!

so cool! I just told my kids that when I get to goal we are all going to majic mountain because I have always wanted to go there, but since I have been overweight I have thought what is the point cause I have been to fat to ride the good rides. They got all excited, and I think I will have some big cheerleaders now!

:)

congrats

WONDERFUL!!!!!! I have always *loved* rollercoasters and I've been to quite a few parks. I've been to Islands a LOT because I live pretty close. I know that ride from before they made it HP style and it is one of my favorites! It has been a few years since i've been... it has always been on the back of my mind that I wouldn't fit and I didn't want to go through that. One of my goal "rewards" (once I save up of course!) is to go on a rollercoaster tour of the US (and through in Canada's wonderland, cause that place is awesome).

CONGRATS! I know it must have felt awesome to be moved into a smaller seat :D

Congrats!! I can't wait to go to Universal Studios again as a thinner/healthier person!! The last time I was there, I was miserable, in pain, and VERY grouchy. In fact, that vacation was one of my inspirations for researching weight loss surgery to begin with!! It would be awesome to go back slimmer as a celebration and reward.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
