Surviving Knoebels Amusement Park

It has been three weeks since my surgery and my in-laws came to visit us. One of their favorite parks is near us and they wanted to go. I took some turkey and yogurt with me and made it through the day. I did have 2- French fries and I bought a baked sweet potato. Was weird because I really never rode rides much and I just ate my way through the park. Was not as hard as I thought it would be. Even our end of the day ice cream run had no effect on me. Loving my new sleeve.

Nice to know we can still do it. My family sure love this place and it would suck if it would be a problem for me. Learning how to cope sure is encouraging.

A warm welcome on your trip to Pa. The Poconos have sooo much to offer and the weather should be nice for you.Try not to get too water-logged but have a GREAT time!

I love Knoebels and went there days after my gastric bypass! My son had a company picnic for his summer job that fell just four days after my surgery. I decided it'd be a nice change of venue for all of the walking. Since I was still on the liquid diet, eating wasn't something I was considering, but it did feel strange not riding or eating my way through. We're lucky, that particular park is so wonderful that even just strolling through is a pleasure. =)

We love this place. Now they are getting a new steel coaster for next year so it is getting better for the older ones.
