Non food limitations after surgery?

LOL, I once hide multiple jello shots in my cleavage, but they melted and were liquid by the time we were able to drink them!

Agree - except #2 -  Art Museums have water fountains (at least the DeYoung does)!!  You can still enjoy your old masters or impressionists to your hearts delight!!

I still have a long way to go, but I'm not looking forward to missing my impromptu cleavage purse. I will have to console myself by buying and wearing awesome boots.

11# is so true! People actually sit next to me now.... can't decide if that is a good or bad thing :P

Thanks everyone! as I though more about limitations, I had this image of going scuba diving and my stomach exploding from the pressure. I have no idea where that thought came from. I know it's not logical now that I think it through. The funny things that pop into your head.

If you want to lose weight to go on the Amazing race or to join the US Armed forces or NASA or something, go on a strict diet and exercise program.  You'd be risk for a heart attack at a 55 BMI for any of these super fit required programs as stands.

Um, no our stomachs don't explode.  We are not freaks.  Being obese you are more of a freak.  Have you tried doing any sports or exercise as a pre-op?  It seems you want to be super athletic post-op but usually people have a spark pre-op.  Overweight people can be athletic, they can exercise regularly!  For most of us, it is our diet of too many calories especially simple carbs that gets us in trouble

All best to you,

Thanks for the reply Zee Starrlite, I don't want to be a super athlete in fact I have 0 athletic ability and I have no real desire to be on Survivor or Amazing Race. I do want to swim with the fishes and soar above the tree tops and I just didn't know if there was any limitations. The whole stomach exploding thing is simply my worst case scenario thinking based on no real information. I'm working on that too.

Thanks again,

Sue

Sue,

You will be very "normal"!  You will be free from obesity!  No worries, you got this!  Let's get normal not superman/woman.  You'll see how cool that is. 

best,

FWIW, I had ZERO sports skills until after surgery. I picked up a bike and went from "wheezy and falling over after half a mile" to riding a 40-mile race. Who knows what you can do! :)

Hell, the only limitations will be those you impose on yourself, providing you do the work you need to do! The work is pretty essential, though.
