small nsv to some.... But a big one to me...

Hubs and I and another couple went to dinner last Saturday night. I always dreaded being seated in a booth bc i was always snug or my belly touched the table. As I gained more weight I found it hard to hold my head over the table when I ate bc my tummy was holding me back.

Well we got seated in a booth Saturday. I cringed at first and thought... No I got this. We then started to eat... I looked down... My tummy was not touching the table and I had extra room!

I was so excited. Just had to share.

    This is my favorite NSV too! I still have to remind myself to NOT say, "table, not booth," when being seated at a restaurant.

    Congratulations!

    That's a huge NSV! I had the same problem pre sleeve. Also, yesterday I noticed I don't have to tilt my booty over to put my seatbelt on anymore! Haha!
