Default Vacation, baby!

We spent the last week in California- Disney, the beach, all the good stuff. I was surrounded by everyone eating ice cream, churros, french fries, chips, and a lot more. I managed to keep a handle on my eating, and even lost 5 pounds! All the walking was great for me, and I noticed I was not nearly as tired at the end of the day, and my feet weren't killing me. 55 pounds made a world of difference, and I still have a long way to go! We did spend one night in the ER while my daughter got 5 staples in her head after launching into a bedpost....but it was still a great trip!

I even included a picture with no one hiding me.... a rare occurance!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

You both are doing an amazing job. I love vacation but hate that I always was to tired or exhausted. This all gives us hope.

I hear ya! Last March we went and I was popping 4 Advil every night I was hurting so bad. This time I didn't even think of popping a Tylenol! (Until I smashed my toe with a gas nozzle, then I took a pain pill from my WLS!)

Kara!
So glad to hear you enjoyed yourself, felt good AND lost 5 pounds!!
Whoo hoo to 55 pounds!
We are going to Disney Orlando in October and I am so excited to think how much thinner I will be by then and be able to hoof it all day and not want to fill a tub with ice water for my aching feet and ankles and not pop advil like pez candy.
How's Brooke's noggin?

lbriseno...Epcot!!?? I love when they make the fountain move to music and lights! And 'tinks' trail of pixie dust (pin holes of lights peeping through walking stones) by the entrance at night!

You are so brave to venture on a vacation so early out. But, you proved it can be done. Congrats! What a cute family too.
