I want to ride a roller-coaster too!!! I moved right next to Kings island and have yet to ride any of the roller coaster with my son and husband! I grew up in Orlando and spent my life riding the rides!!! Now I'm scared to not be able to fit!

I live near Kings Island too!! Well, I'm about a half hour away closer to Cincinnati but my husband works off of the same exit as KI. We were there today just for a little while to activate our gold passes. I'm 5 days post-op so I'm taking things slowly. My youngest is 4 so I mostly stood around with him in lines and walked. It was exhausting but I've been told the first two weeks are the worst!

I did the Zombie run a week before my surgery- in Amsbury MA. And I scanned the crowd and I was the biggest chubbiest person there.. I was slow- and made my friends go on without me. But I finished it. I can't wait to do it again next year- hopefully 100lbs lighter!! I just want to fit

On roller coasters with my son.. And travel without needing an extra seatbelt extender on airplanes!!

Definitely cannot wait for cheaper clothes and a ride on a roller coaster. My husband already wants to go window shopping. I just had my surgery on 5/22.

My goal: I told my 9 yr old son that once I lost enough weight that next summer we are going to an amusement park and ride rides together! Can't wait to enjoy life to its fullest! And not have to worry if the bar will lock, or if the seatbelt latches!! He can't wait!!

I want to do an AFF skydive, I've did a tandem when I was about 50lbs lighter but looked like a stuffed sausage in the jumpsuit.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
