Back from vacation! With picture

[Blue1213 122]

I had my sleeve surgery on 3/25/15. Going on vacation and having a good time was one of the catalysts for deciding to have surgery.

Well I got back from a week's vacation and probably had the best vacation ever. I spent a week at Disney World with one day at Universal.

I sat in the middle seat on the airplane and rode ALL of the rides. No problem at all! I felt like a normal sized person. In fact, I was sad to see so many obese people in scooters. I was thinking how are they having a good time?

I did not make the best food choices and when I got back was pleased that I hadn't gained any weight. But I was also happy to get back to my "normal" food routine. However, I lost 9 pounds the week after. I think I must have been retaining Water in my ankles. I had two broken ankles two years ago from a car accident and sometimes have cankles now when I walk a lot. : (

Anyone on the fence about the surgery, DO IT!! Prior to losing the weight, I always had crappy vacations. Not anymore!

Total weight loss so far: 140

Congratulations! I'm going back to Disney next April and I can hardly wait to do the parks at 100 pounds + less than last time! It sounds like you had an amazing time...very happy for you.

Thanks! I'm at the goal the doctor set for me for a year but would like to lose another 20 pounds.

Love your story, Blue1213! You look great! I can totally relate, I always had crappy vacations too.

Im getting my sleeve on June 15. I have 25 years worth of vacation pics where i look awful! i finally got sick of taking nice vacations (including Disney World!) and never really having that great of a time, because i hated the way i looked. Specially since we always go places where you're gonna be in a bathing suit. i would spend $$$ buying plus size bathing suits and cover ups, sundresses, etc...and STILL not like the way i looked. We have a big trip planned in November for Cozumel, and i'm gonna be ready!!!

[Blue1213 122]

I love Cozumel! And will love it more now that I've lost the weight. I would go and never let my picture be taken. Plus I almost passed out trying to get to Tulum and I never actually got to see it.

Have a great time Hulabird!
