This might sound crazy but we do an annual quad rally every year and it's so awesome. But I will only be 3.5 weeks out of surgery. Do you think I might be healed enough to go? How did others feel 3-4 weeks after surgery??

I know I felt 95% back to normal 3 - 4 days post op. Riding quads wouldn't have been a problem at all. Stunts and crazy risks that could get you thrown off wouldn't be wise. But regular riding I think would be fine. That's just based on my husband and my recoveries. I would ask your surgeon to be sure.

Thanks. We aren't stunters by any means but the trail gets rough. Thick mud to get through ect.

Can you ask your Dr.? I love quadding too

So I seen my doc on day 18 and she said I could go if I felt ok. I did feel good and went on a 10 hour rally. Driving was better because I could support myself with my legs and arms. My incisions didn't bother me at all unless I was riding. That was a little too bouncy. I sure felt it in my legs and arms the next day but it didn't affect my sleeve at all. If your ready you'll know, we heal fast. Hope this helps!!

      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.
