Will I Be Able To Do Seaworld, For 2-3 Hours, 1 Day Post-Op?



Recommended Posts

While I normally bounce back from everything, I am not sure about purchasing SeaWorld ticket in advance . I have 4 hours from the time I leave hospital until I can check into my room in SanDiego 1st day post-op. I really want to take the mission bay sky-lift ride, and see the dolphins & sharks. I think I can do these 3 things and be alright. They aren't physically demanding, but the walking will be quite alot. But I'm think I'll need to walk,and that it would be away to ensure I do some walking that day. I'm afraid if I went back to the room immediately I might just lay down and sleep. I think I'll just wait and see...But I have to have something to do for 3 hours so I might as well do Sea World...What do you all think?

You might be able to do this at Seaworld. Its a big park, just walk a little and then sit. There are wheel chairs available if you have someone to push you. It might be tender in the surgery incision if you try and push yourself. I've included infor on electric strollers for you, very reasonable and being :handicapped" for a day or so, you can get on the rides first and your party is included. Enjoy yourself at SeaWorld and best wishes again Surgery day.

Thanks, I plan to go ahead and try. we"ll do the mission bay skyride, and see the dolphins & killer whales then probably leave. I usually bounce back from stuff easily. Actually I found out when could probably get in the room early, but this is our only day to actually do something fun. I've never been to cA. or Mexico or anywhere farther west than Missouri so we want to try to do something! It'll probably be along time before I get to go back there. Sorry if I spelled anything wrong but the print on this site is tiny today? Is it that way on your pc? I can't even read it and I don't have poor eyesight it's so small. Just started doing this today...Thanks...

Boy, I would go slow. You're talking the day after surgery? Forget what was done to you, just being under general anasthesia takes a toll on your body. I think I would hold off on pre purchasing, and pay the extra on the day. It would be awful to feel you had to go because you had already bought the tickets, rather than go because you feel up to it and really want to.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
