10 year wedding anniversary is next year... ideas, tips, venting

I think instead of having a huge party that few will come too were going to do a smalldinner  party with our best friends and go away on a trip instead. i dont know when ill get surgery, if insurance will approve it, when school break would be, etc etc etc. id like to go away for at least 5 days, maybe 7 if we fly somewhere. id love to go to the beach but im huge... and its expensive to go to the carribean. i'd like to go somewhere rmantic but hubby has always wanted to go to vegas. i did some research and they have a romantic resort and helicopter rides, horseback riding (which i hate at my current size, i always feel like im going to fall) etc. But i dont know how much i can handle after surgery. i'd be anywhere from 2-8 months later, depending on if we have the money, time off school, etc. and depends on when i get the surgery. i found a helicopter ride i WANT to do. its amazing but its 500 bucks a pop, and they charge you for part of another seat if u are over 275. hubby is 300 so maybe we can get him down or lie about it, but i dont know about me. im 350-360 right now but i want to be 275 sooo bad. i'd rather wait a little longer and go after i've lost some weight and can eat solid foods. but i dont know if hubby would be willing to wait until the following tax time or not. any thoughts? im a planner, if u cant tell by now. i just needed to bounce some ideas off of everyone.

You really are a planner. Just know that whatever you plan, it will be fun as long as the two of you are together. I should get you in touch with my hubby, he can not plan anything out, lol. I ask him to plan something for a weekend away together, and he waits till the weekend is over to even think that he was to have planned something. No prearranging in his agenda.

Please don't take this the wrong way.. but you go horseback riding?
I never dreamed of doing something like that when I was 371. 

You are an inspiration to me! 

Isn't it amazing how our metal image of ourselves can effect what we do or don't do?
I always thought horseback riding would be fun.. but can tell me.. how did you get on the horse?

Again.. This is not ment to offend and I know sometimes typed messages can give the wrong impression, but I am really curious.. You see. .I to am a planner!  So much so that if I would go horseback riding that I want to make sure I can at least get on the thing! LOL!

i think i was 340 or so and a place we went had horeseback riding with no weight restriction. i will tell u though, that poor horse hated me!!! I rode once when i was around 200 and loved it. why did my taste change? lots of things have changed, i hate movement, thrill rides etc. of course being big youd rather hate something than not be allowed to do it. i hated nearly evcery minute on that horse too. i kept feeling like i was going to fall and no one cared. a few times the horse almost fell over and i was last so no one would have noticed until i screamed. hense why i dont want to do it again. lol. but maybe if i were smaller it wouldnt be so bad.
i am a serious planner. i want to enjoy my life and sometimes planning gets in the way but most of the time it makes sure i get what i want out of life.. lol. my hubby is the same way with everything!! it leaves me frustrated and feeling like i have to do it all, but part of it is my own doing, like planning for something so far out. but we're so poor the only way to do anythng expensive is to plan. are there any other places in the US to go? when i get skinny i want to go to discovery cove if they dont close but gabby wants to go too so i dont want to use that for our anniversary.

p.s. i dont know if the scale is off or not again. i feel the urge to weigh daily esp when i am doing good. and now it says 352 and gabbys weight is accurate so mine should be? i did it 3x with the same result. i will be bummed tomrrow when it says more lol. but i am going to glory in my 12 lbs of loss while i can.
