I flew for the first time this weekend since having the surgery in July. Wow! What a difference. I used to be able to put the seatbelt on, but it would be snug and stretched out to the max length. When I put it on this time around, I pulled a good 6-10 inches of seatbelt to make it fit properly.

The scale hasn't moved in a month or more, but things like this are keeping me going!

That's awesome! I flew two weeks before my surgery last Friday, and all I could think about was when I can put on the seatbelt and be able to tighten it.

And getting up from a window seat to get out, etc. All that will be so much easier! There's a restaurant we like to go to once in a while for special occasions and the little tables are very close together. I like to sit on the banquette but getting in and out is such a squeeze. Looking forward to just sliding out without having to make apologies to the next table over or to my fellow airline passengers. So embarrassing.
