Sandybells-

I am legal counsel for the general contractor on this. While it looks scary as hell it is highly over engineered. It can resist sustained winds of over 100 mph and bear the weight of 10, yes 10, 747's...I have been out on the site several times with the risk manager of the company and you would not believe the amount of steel and concrete that went into the footings to hold the superstructure...

I'd have to lay down, I know I'd be sick

Then again my hubby and kids like to make my stomach drop by jumping in the elevator!

I dunnoo... I'm thinking I'd still feel better with some support underneath. We see freak accidents all the time.. bridges etc giving way.. I've seen the herds of tourist at the Grand Canyon. Not sure I'd get on it with all of them.

I wouldn't pay $25 to walk 15 yards out above the canyon. I'm sure people will, but that seems like an outrageous amount of money to me. $100 for a family of 4. Uh uh.

I feel sorry for whoever has to remove all the finger and nose prints every night. LOL

Yikes! No way would I walk out there on my own accord. Heck they couldn't pay me enough and they'd have a big mess to clean up behind me.

Gosh tired old man you are right but I have to admit I loved it as a way to experience the canyon in a way one couldn't normally.

No way, no how! Ain't gonna see me out there. And Nana, I understand, my kids are always jumping on the elevator to scare me. The canyon is so beautiful, and I've always wanted to hike it, maybe I'll make that a long term goal/reward!!!!! And you know, it's not even a fear of heights for me, it's a fear of falling, and looking at this walkway, all I can invision is just that, falling. Some of us are tough girls, but I'll tell you right now, I'm just a taffy ass. cassie

      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.
