mezanne1401 190 Posted December 2, 2012 Well, just got back from CA from my grandpa's funeral a few hours ago and what a rough week. It was rough not because of his passing, but because I wanted to eat at all my old favorites. I ate every meal and threw up every meal. I would take literally one bite too many and off to the bathroom I went. My dad's idea of a night out is a 5-hour dinner with old friends, which I used to love. I'm finished eating before everyone else and then I just sit. The smell of everyone's food is usually what made me queasy. I excused myself once and my husband and I walked back to our room. But, with all of the downs, there were some amazing ups. EVERYONE noticed my weight loss and complimented me like crazy. We went to Disneyland on a whim. I was able to walk through a turnstile without turning sideways!!!!! I almost pulled down my once to tight blue jeans while walking to a ride. My jeans were so loose that my mom would tell me to pull up my pants. I walked that entire park and rode a dozen rides or so and my back didn't hurt at all!!! My back used to be so bad that I would have to rest frequently. I was never the first person to suggest a break. I guess I did okay given the situation, but man, I've been on cloud 9 for 3 days!!!! 3 Tink22-sleeve, I love my dachshunds and sheppy33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holly5.3 423 Posted December 2, 2012 Be very proud, girl! Remember our lives are for living-Disneyland, loved-ones. food is not life! A 5 hour meal is an event, not a meal! I'm not sure toomany people, WLS or not could tolerate that too often! I'm glad you excused yourself but sorry you got sick. I'm 7 weeks post op and still trying to gage my "full" level before that last bite too many. 99% of the time I'll feel a little burp come up. That's my red light to stop. Last night I decided to ignore it and are just one more mini mozzarella ball (nice dinner, huh?)and went to bed feeling sick, oy vey! One meal at a time is my motto! 1 I love my dachshunds reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E-girl 98 Posted December 2, 2012 Congrats on the weight loss. I am surprised you didn’t get sick was just seeing food. Once I was sleeved, I found it hard to watch people eat all my old favorites. I too went to Disney, about 6 months after surgery, for a conference. It was great! I walked for 6 hours straight! I never walked for 6 hours ever! And my feet still didn’t hurt after all that. On top of that, it was in the middle of summer and I was surprised how little the heat didn't bothered me. I used to hate the summer but now I love it! It was amazing. Anyway congrats, again! 1 I love my dachshunds reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
