Vacation was so hard

I understand!  I felt that kind of feelings and experiences also.  I am now down 100 lbs and it is as if an entire person has been lifted off my body.  I am so active, healthy and happy now.  Yes, there are adjustments both physical and mental, but they are WELL worth it!!!!  I now have my life back and living life to it's fullest!  Good luck to you.  Next year you will be ready to handle it!

I don't think there is a person on these boards who does not understand how you feel.  I am honestly a little teary after reading your post.  I just had surgery 11 days ago and it plain sucks to be morbidly obese and not to be able to live the life that you can picture in your head.  Just by doing your surgery consultation you are getting closer to realizing that goal.  All the best to you in your journey.

That sounds like a miserable vacation!  I'm sorry it was so bad.

We can all relate.  But I do commend you for your efforts as hard as it was.  I was 268 at my highest weight and now that I am down 80 pounds I can't believe how much easier life is. I didn't even realize my limitations because I was just so use to living with them. 
This post is a reminder of how hard life was and why I need to keep looking forward.  I wish you all the luck in the world because life can be easier!!

I'm so sorry your vacation was so miserable. My husband and I go to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg every year, but we go to relax...lol. We take in some shows, do some light shopping, NEVER do Dollywood or the water park. We like to just ride it out easy. I bet in May when you go to the Outer Banks, you will have so much energy and blow them away. My surgery is August 20 and I can't wait to go on vacation for our 20 yr anniversary in November!

Thank you everyone for your post! I feel alot better just knowing people understand. Im excited to begin my journey and start living life again!

I am sorry your vacation was so hard but it will be a reminder of why you are having this surgery. i know how you feel--not being able to keep up with my husband and my college age sons is one of the biggest reasons for me to have this surgery. I am simply tired of holding everyone else back and want so much to be able to do the things that I used to enjoy. Just think how great we will both feel next summer and all the new things we can do!
