Good question. I wondered about sky-diving too. I still have my raincheck from when I was washed out by a thunderstorm. Anyone?

Gosh I hope so. I'll ask Thursday, unless someone who is seeing their doc between now and then can ask.

I was just pleased as punch that I could still scuba dive.

If you could or wanted to do any of these things BEFORE being banded, you'll be MORE able to do them after you lose weight. The band will not in itself prohibit you from taking any crazy chan... I mean, doing whatever extreme sports might float your boat. Have at it! :biggrin1:

I want to fit in the seat for the rollercoaster called the Superman here at Six Flags New England. Years ago I just squeezed in and the ride was great. Had not been back until just this month and low and behold I could not fit in the seat. No ride for this fat ass! So when I get banded and lose enough pounds, I'm heading back to tackle once again that rollercoaster!!!!

I asked my dr. about amusement parks and he said they were fine. Last month I rode the new "Tony Hawk Skateboard " Rollercoaster at 6 flags -St. Louis and it was good. I was happy just to fit in the seat only 3 months after banding ! I'd say "GO FOR IT " !

      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.
