So about 2 yrs ago I went to a carnival they have by my house every yr and was actually told I couldn't go on one of the rides because the seatbelt didn't fit and it was a saftey hazard..I was soo embarresed I just left..the person I was with tried making a joke about it to make me feel better but I was scarred and hadn't attempted a carnival again until this yr.. mind u I'm 7 mths post op and down 65lbs but I was still worried .... so hear I am on the line for the zipper asking what the weight limit is for the ride and the guy looks at me like I'm crazy.. he said trust me ur no where near it... happy to say I fit on the ride very comfortably and it was by far one of the best experiences ive had since my surgery...just wanted to share my story because ive been o erweight my whole life and I know its the little successes that mean the most :)

Congratulations! That's an awesome feeling, I'm sure. I'm soooo looking forward to going to an amusement park again post op. I LOVE roller coasters but haven't been in a long time, cause I know it would be a tight fit right now, if I did fit. :/

Congratulation!!! you know I am always hate to fly because I cannot buckle my seat belt and feel very embarrassed to ask for the extension.

so I minimize the vacation which include the flight.

I really hope that after surgery I would be seat in the air plane seat and don't worry about that belt.......

      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.
