Trip To Disney Question...



Recommended Posts

I am going to disney world soon, pre-op... I haven't been there for 20 years when I was younger and thinner. I'm now 285...so my question is have you gone when you were bigger? Were you able to ride any of the rides at magic kingdom or Epcot? Just trying to be prepared if I won't fit on any of the rides :(

I went to Disney two weeks prior to surgery and I weighed 345. In the Magic Kingdom I did not have any issues but for the rides that I thought I might have an issue I asked before I got on any ride if I would have any issues fitting. I would know before I got on the rides. I didn't go to Epcot this time, but I don't think you will have any issues. Have a great time.

Thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate it!

We went to universal and there were several rides I could not do at 260#. I was embarrassed needless to say. Part of my decision to sleeve on Oct 30.

      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.
