I am almost 1 year out on September 25.....when we flew down to San Diego for Surgery we sat in first class and I couldn't even buckle my seat belt....last weekend we flew to LA and upgraded to first class again and 2 of me could have sat in the seat and my seat belt had massive ....i mean massive extra length!

Wow the difference a year makes This is something that I USED to dread...getting on an airplane........now every time I get on one.......it reminds me of how different my life is now. To have the fear gone is an amazing feeling!

On a side note.....I never once broke a chair at my heaviest which was 289 lbs......the other weekend we went to Denny's with some friends and at a whopping 128 lbs...I busted my first chair......lol lol lol.....ironic....don't ya think?

Now the breaking a chair is a funny story instead of humilating. My cousin and I were just talking last night about her mother in law who is a very large woman has broken several chairs in restaurants. I said I'm not sure I would have continued going out if that had happened to me on more than one occassion. Praise God it never happened to me at my heaviest 302. I'm now around 245 so I still have a lot to go but I can fit i booths comfortable now. so I think I will stick with that till I lose some more just in case..:)

Great story! Love the chair incident! And congrats!

I too ALMOST look forward to flying again, if it wasn't for the hassle of security etc. it would actually be fun again.

Oh I can remember very clearly that I could not sit in most booths....only chairs. My husband said the other day when we were at a place where we used to eat how we couldn't sit there before....and now 2 of me could fit in one spot.........It still blows my mind.

When I broke the chair at Denny's I was so embarrassed.. I could only image how I would have felt at my heaviest at 289!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
