I had two this weekend-I flew on Friday night and not only could I buckle the seatbelt, I had to significantly tighten it. And there was room in the seat. I used to be squeezed in and had to hide that the seatbelt wouldn't fasten because I did not want to ask for an extension... I went shopping today and bought myself some new workout clothes-in the "ladies" section, not the plus size. I was sleeved on October 9 and have lost 58 pounds. I am happy with my loss today, but am in a stall so it was great to have some other signs that I am making progress!

NSV with clothes is always great :)

Kudos!!!!

i thought "only" size of clothing was Plus Size!!!!

there is a regular womens size too?? :lol:

good for you!!

congrats on your plane NSV

had to tighten the seat belt!!!! Way to Go!!!!!

i also used to "hide" the fact that seat belt wouldn't close :(

busted - flight attendant saw me, and discreetly handed me extender!!! :(

my NSV - flew a couple of weeks ago - i sat in the middle seat - no problem

room to spare on each side of my butt :lol:

Wow - best flight i ever had!!!! :)

Congratulations!! I know the feeling about the airplane seats. I always feel self conscious that the person next to me will think I should have been ordered to get two seats. I have to squeeze in, and though the belt still fits me (well, last I flew it did lol and that was 20 pounds ago), it has to be fully extended and it's not comfortable. So I really feel your excitement on the plane!!

And I think shopping in the regular sections will be my favorite NSV once I get there. I'm a 29 year old mother... It seems like all the plus size clothes come in two styles: young party/clubbing clothes and old lady clothes! Lol I will be so glad to have more options!!! :)

Congratulations!!! What awesome victories!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
