take my son to an amusement park and FIT ON ALL THE RIDES!!!!!

I took him last summer and being the size I was I was very limited to the rides I could go on.....now its no problem!

Having this surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made! I felt like a "normal" person going on all those rides and not hindered by my weight! Woooooot!

Thanks guys!!!!

Ya know Frisco I thought the same thing when he wanted to go on a roller coaster, I was thinking to myself how will I fit in that seat......and then I remembered Im a size 12 not a 20 anymore! It was such a great feeling! Its so funny (and odd) how you can still "feel fat" mentally.

I still look at booths at resturants, and wonder if I will fit..... only to realize that it just isn't an issue anymore !

be proud to wear a swimsuit to my husband's company's pool party this summer.....  instead of sitting in a chair in my clothes, sweating my buns off, too ashamed of my weight to get in the water 

Even better, he was proud of my accomplishment, too!

Congratulations to you all. This is a NSV victory that I am looking forward to doing as well in November when I take my 3 year old daughter to Disney. I hope I can ride on all of the rides with her. I am trying my best to stay focus and my goal is to try to lose at least 20 more pounds before November. Wish me luck!

That is one think I can't wait for my sleeve(hopefully around Oct or Nov).   I plan to go out to CA(next summer) with my daughter to visit my sisters n I wanna be able to sit in the plane seats n amusement park rides comfortably.
