Rambling.....

I am 5 1/2 months post op and down 88 pounds so far. Last year at this time, I took my first trip to Orlando to visit "the wonderful world of Disney". While I did have fun, I was very limited on what I could do while I was there due to my weight, and was uncomfortable most of the time. Being a rollercoaster lover, I was very discouraged when I went on a rollercoaster, could barely get the buckles fastened and then didn't go on another rollercoaster my whole trip--instead I stood and watched as the friends I was with rode quite a few of them. As a gift to myself, I am leaving tomorrow with friends to go on my second trip to Orlando, and this time I plan to ride every rollercoaster from Tampa to Daytona at least twice I don't care if I after each one, I am going on them! Jill PS--Theresa, sorry I missed you at Dayna's office on Monday, I was just getting in my car and you were walking in the door.

Jill, Have fun in Florida and ride every damn ride you can!! You deserve it.. You look great and I'm sure you feel great too... Take Care and make sure you update us on your trip!! Kell

I am trying to plan a trip to WaltDisney, depending on our tax refund. I want to hear all about it!! I do not know where to start to plan it. I was running late on Monday, all my fault. Wish I could blame it on DH, but afraid I can not. I wish I had met you!!!! We should all try to get together, families and all, for a picnic or something this summer. We have a seasonal campsite at a great campground but it is pretty far away for most of you. Maybe we could find a place in Bangor or something. I think it would be wonderful fun!! Have fun and let us all know about your trip. Take pictures!!! Be safe! Theresa

Jill, You are so lucky, and you will have a great time I know. I went to Disney in 2000, and was able to ride some rides, although uncomfortable. Last year we went to Myrtle Beach, and I couldn't ride any rides. I can't wait to get to a size that I can ride again. I am taking the girls to Disney next year or the year after, and plan on taking advantage. My youngest has no fear so she will be my riding buddy. Have a great time ~Heather
