You should ask your surgeon if that's okay because they are the only one that can give you the okay for that.

IMO you won't feel like it that soon after surgery. The pressure on your incisions will be bad and could hurt or do damage.

Once again ask your surgeon if it's okay. Can't emphasize that enough.

Thank you so much, I'll ask next week when I go in for my pre test

I would say that would be a no go! I am just over two weeks out and although I am feeling better finally, I would not want to get on a rollar coaster in another week. You'll still be sore and quick movement is not something you want to feel around you incision site!

It definitely depends on your doctor and your recovery. He will probably tell you if you feel up to it, go for it. It all depends on how you feel at that time. I had virtually no pain and no complications so I would've done it. Some other people I wouldn't recommend it for.

Thank you ladies.. I'll be consulting with my doctor.. I recover pretty quickly I had 2 c sections in less than 3 years I healed in a week.. I also has breast reduction. That was major surgery,, I also healed within a week or less.. But I'll be speaking with my doctor because all surgeries are different

I agree about the doc and I'm glad you're checking with him.

My guess would be no because those coaster put a lot of g-force on your body... not just internal but external. They older I've gotten the harder I've found it to be to catch my breath on the really fast coasters. And I don't even have any pulmonary issues. That with the Jerky action -- I'm thinking probably not.

      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.
