Can Fat People Bungy Jump? Well I did!



Recommended Posts

Always one to create a stir...I just wanted to let everyone know that I am 239lbs and I jumped head first off a bridge with only a tiny elastic rope around my ankles...It was the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my whole life...Standing on the edge of the bridge...looking down at the swirling Water way, way, way below...and thinking I am going to jump down into that. Here is a Picture:

I have more pictures on my blog...but I guess I just wanted to brag...If I can do that...then we can do anything...losing the remaining 63lbs that I have to loose should be a breeze for me after that. We shall see.

You are so BRAVE. I have always wanted to but didn't go thru with it.

I am so impressed. I am so envious.

What will you do next? I did white Water raft and it was fun and very dangerous. I love Water but those rocks can break bones if you hit them right/wrong.

Bungie jumping scares me. One of my goals, when I lose weight, is to go sky diving. For some reason, that's a lot less scary for me than bungie jumping.

The only reason I wouldnt have been able to bungy jump is becuase I was incapable of telling anyone what I weighed without knocking off a couple of kilos, lol.

I think the scariest part for me than would be stepping on the scale in front of people:eek:. I have always wanted to go sky diving, white Water rafting, and bunge jumping. I think doing all that will be my big reward!

      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.
