I'm going to six flags over Georgia next weekend and I'm pretty nervous about it. Last time I went I was at least 320lb, but maybe a bit higher, and a size 24. I couldn't fit on a few if the rides, and some were uncomfortable, to say the least. I should be at 240 by next weekend and I'm a 16/18. My weight is fairly evenly distributed.

Even though I'll be down at least 80lbs from my first visit I'm still so nervous that I won't fit. I know they have the test seats I can try, but I'm still going to be so disappointed if I don't fit. I was mortified last time. I keep telling myself a 16 is just a tiny bit above an average size so I should fit. Anyone have any advice, words of wisdom or encouragement.

16-18 is a good size. You should fit fine. Try it! Have fun! :-)

Just think. By summer's end you could be maybe a Size 12? Imagine it... :-)

Did you go? How about a update.

We had so much fun! I had two nerve racking moments.

One was on a Water slide. A sign was posted that said there was a 250lb weight limit, I normally would have just tried to slide by and hope they didn't check but then I realized I didn't even have to worry about it anymore which was really nice.

I got on the batman ride and I was so nervous because that's the one that was a no go last time. Well it didn't "click" I was almost heart broken, and then I realized it's not suppose to click, you have to buckle yourself. I buckled the seat with no issue and had a couple of inches to spare. It was a great feeling.

So I had no issues what so ever and I didn't have to spend a dime on food.

It was so crowded we didn't get to ride very many rides and in dying to go back. Charlotte is a little closer so I think we're going to go get a season pass for Carowinds and spend our vacation there.

I am looking forward to the day that I can go to SixFlags. The last time I went, of course you have to wait an hour to ride a ride, when it was finally our turn, the seat belt didn't click either, my daughter and I had to get up and leave. I was humiliated. everyone staring and wondering what was going on. I went straight to the bathroom and cried. Next summer I should be able to go back.

I am so glad you had fun. Congrats on your weight loss.

      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.
