Ok so this is a stupid question and I haven't been able to find anyone with this question

I am a 54 year old female and I am going in for the gastric sleeve at the end of June or early July (haven't gotten the call back from the hospital coordinator yet) and one of my concerns is being able to ride my motorcycle. Yeah I know, stupid but I ride a 750 pound motorcycle and I do have a car for going back and forth to my clients for my business but I also love to ride on the weekends or at nite when I get home from working

Any guys or gals also ride that might be able to tell me their experiences?

Thanks

Holy Crap I am nervous but ready to get this done

I don't see why you would have an issue. I've seen people back to riding horses within a month. I was swimming at two weeks out very hard too. I did wait until six weeks to golf because it wasn't comfortable and I worried about hurting my sleeve. Good luck to you!

I have a friend who had the DS surgery and he rides ALL the time now. Shouldn't be a concern. :)

Thanks - I would think maybe a week or two tops til I heal at least enough to use my stomach muscles for riding

Awesome thanks. By the time my surgery is going to happen it will be 118 here anyway so that's why I am doing it during the summer. If it was in March or April I would say no way since I ride every day other then June - August

      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.
