I rode my first rollar coaster in 17 years!!!!
Hi Everyone,
This is the most exciting wow probably for me by far. I went yesterday to my husband's union picnic held at Clementon Park in New Jersey. Well, every time I've gone before it was horrible. It was always so hot and I couldn't go on any rides because I wouldn't fit. And I even hated the water park because I was too embarassed to wear my bathing suit.
Well, gues what??? I went on rides and fit perfectly. And I rode my first roller coaster and was scared to death. It was called Hell Cat and it was pure hell :) Meaning, I should have choosen something calmer to go on as my first ride :) But I fit in the seat and the bar came down and the seat belt had a ton of extra room in it. It was the greatest feeling in the world. And I'll tell you what...there would have been no way 183 pounds ago that I would have EVER, EVER fit in that seat. I was just ecstatic.
Then it was off to the water park. I had a little bit of an issue flopping my arms and legs around, but I got over it and I enjoyed myself. I couldn't go on any slides or really get in the water past my hips because of the biliary tube. But it didn't matter, because I sat on the edge swinging my feet in the water, catching some sun. And it was the BEST feeling in the world!!!!
I love this surgery...I love Barix....I love all of you....and I love life right now!!!!

Congratulations I remember going to Clemeton when I was younger. Have they built it up ? No water park then. They used to have "Pepsi" days and I think the tickets were like 10 cents ( remember this was Looooooong time ago )

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
