Question for everyone, and before you say it, I know i should consult my Dr. and I will, but i wanted to find out everyone elses opinion. Ok, so next weekend i will be 3 1/2 weeks post op, do you think it's ok to go to six flags and enjoy some roller coasters? Also has anyone gone and been or or had any problems?

Let me know...

Thanks!

Ashley, I would think you should be fine. My Dr. said resume normal activity after 3 weeks, but I think you should definitely ask him. The roller coasters do jerk you around quite a bit. But... I think if you're not having any problems, you should be fine. It's not going to damage your band at all.

I would stay away from Jerky ones, I'm 6 months post op and just got back from Orlando. The Rock and Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios - when did they change the name?) 0 - 60 in 3.2 seconds caused me no problems, then my wife wanted to go on Big Thunder Mountain at the M.K. - I hate that jerky old thing! But to please my wife we went on it. While I don't think it hurt anything I did feel some twinges and I sure felt worse afterwards than I ever did in the past when riding it.

Just to be safe call your doctors office and ask them.

      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.
