I just returned from a trip to Disney World, (I was there for a conference) and yes, Darcie, I thought about you while I was there.  I just wanted to share a few WOWs with you guys. 1.  The seatbelt on the plane fit and I had at least 7-8 inches to spare 2.  I never got winded at all with all the walking, up and down steps/hills. 3.  I had NO problem getting in any of the rides, and yes, we tried to do them all  4.  I managed to actually lose 2 pounds while I was gone.  Never done that before on a trip.  5.  I didn't feel like people were staring at me waddle around, because I don't waddle anymore. 6.  My feet and legs didn't swell up or hurt too bad.  7.  I was able to eat fairly close to my plan.  I forgot to pack my protein bars, but my DH and I shared meals.  8.  My colleagues at the conference were shocked by my transformation.  Only one of them knew about my surgery.  I guess that's about it. I just had to share with you guys because I know you understand what these little joys are all about.  Thanks, Alice

WOOHOO!!!! Those are some awesome WOWs. Thanks for sharing. My husband and I are taking our son to Orlando to go to Sea World. I'm looking forward to flying and fitting better in the seats. Can't wait to see some Disney scrapbook pages! Becky :)

Thanks Becky!  We've been to Sea World a few years ago and it was GREAT!  Enjoy.   I hope to do some Disney pages real soon...

Congratulations, Alice!  That's fantastic!  Sounds like you had a good trip.  I wish my job sent me to Disney World.  I've never been.  I reckon I'll wait until we have kids and they are old enough to enjoy it. Amanda
