Do I dare???

I was sleeved on June 1. We're going on vacation in late October to an area that offers, among other activities, a zip line tour through the forest canopy. I checked their website, and though I'm already within 5 lbs. of their weight limit, I FEEL like I would be the one to snap the cable!  (or at least cut off all circulation in my lower extremities from the harness).

I didn't really have any major goals before, other than fitting into clothes, airplane seats, etc. and perhaps riding a bike again. But ever since I read the discription of the tour, I REALLY WANT TO DO IT!!!

Could this actually be possible for me by then?    It's so far from anything I ever imagined doing before having surgery!

Of course you'll be 5 pounds down by late Oct!  You may be down 50 pounds down- no snapping worries required!  Go for it and good incentive!

You definitely should go.  You'll be way past 5 pounds by October, that line won't even droop, let alone snap!

I'm going in a few weeks here and can't wait.

 Just do it !  I went ziplining in Mexico this spring. you can see photos on my profile. The zip wasn't my problem, climbing all the way up to the top of the towers was what was hard. but I am heavier then you are.
