IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

Andrea, Way to go, glad trip was so much fun!!!! So sorry to hear your having troubles with your stomach I too would opt for the choice you made, the fewer things that docs have to stick in the better huh. You have been doing so awesome on your weight loss. I am struggling to get to the century club. I have been bobbing up and down between 85 and 90 for the last month ARGH!!!! I also didn't know taco b was so good for us, but it's wierd, I have been on this mexican food kick for a month!!!. Actually I love the fiesta salad from McD's. It makes a 3 meals for me. I have been having a different kind of problem I am constantly HUNGRY!!!!! Very scared I don't feel full except when I tried to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast today they came back. Then after a gut ache for about 5 hours was hungry again. Had a taco salad for dinner. I need to do better at keeping track of what I am eating and bump up the walking. ALthough I have to admit it takes a lot now to get out of breath, which is nice. Hang in there and I am praying and hoping that you "stricture" works out!!!

Hiya Andrea...SO glad you had a good time and are feeling good!!! Sry to hear about your dumping experience, but hey could have been worse right! I just got home from a weekend away with my family....we went school shopping all day Friday and than to a water park on Sat. feels good to have that all done for now! I also went shopping for myself and got a ton of new clothes for fall and winter, I had sooooooooooo much fun, and yes it is amazing how ppl talk to me now, open the door so on and so forth.....its really hard for me to get use to!!! I was felt really odd wearing my swimsuit in public w/o a coverup...my hubby said I was the best looking woman there LOL....I know what he wants!!! Anyways...so glad your home and feeling good! Love, Janet Schmidt

Hey Andrea, I am glad to hear Great America was GREAT. About Taco Bell, yes many times. I only eat a couple things there now. Double Stuffed Taco; eat half then the other half about 20 minutes later. I also eat the soft taco deluxe... same deal. I don't EVER eat the whole thing or Dopey me... took me for ever! lol But it's truly the only fast food I get hungry for, and before the surgery... HATED IT! And BTW your husband is NOT imaging things! YOU ARE TURNING INTO A HOT MAMA!!!! He sees it and so do we, so put that in your baggy jeans (a WLS problem WE ALL faced), with your thin thighs and GET USED TO IT. Anyway glad your tummy is on the mend. God Bless Paula

Janet, Sounds like you had fun, too. If we do anything else before school starts, it will be a waterpark. Too cool that your hubby is that wonderful to say you were the best looking woman there. He just wants to see your butt!! Is your suit a thong?? Hope that we can plan something for this fall. God bless, Andrea

That sound so great!!! One more dream to put out there for those of us still waiting. My surgery is in 8 days, so I will be joining you on the losing side, soon. Cheers! Martha

Martha, Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I am excited for you!!! It is such a change in life!! Be sure to keep reading and posting until then so we can give you tons of support. God bless, Andrea

Andrea...I'm glad you had such a GREAT time. You deserve it!!! I got a laugh out of the fact that you were ready to keep going, and THEY pooped out! When was the last time that happened on a big outing? Your post makes me anxious for my vacation as a not-as-fat-as-I-used-to-be person...we just booked a week-long trip to Orlando the end of September...we're going to Disney World!! I won't have to be paranoid about fitting in the rides, and hopefully I'll have more energy to last all day. I read that you walk an average of 9 miles a day at Disney World. I figure that ought to be good for a few pounds, don't you think? Francie P

Francie, I felt like the Energizer bunny - I could have kept going and going and going! You will have to let us know how your trip to Disney World goes. You will fit on ALL the rides and will walk all over the place. Wow 9 miles is a full day and yep, should be good for a few pounds! Have a blast and God bless, Andrea
