Booth Seating!



Recommended Posts

Just thought I would share. The other day I went to lunch with my sister and for some reason we decided to sit in a booth( we always get tables for obvious reasons). Well I fit! and comfortably as well. I know not all booths are the same size but it was great to be able to sit in one and be comfortable.

I call that a major NSV!

I feel great when I can just slide into a booth, no worry about if the table is bolted to the floor and can't be pushed far enough away from my gut! No longer living in fear of dreaded booth seat! :-P

I know right! I sit in a booth every chance I get because I couldn't for so long.

Also because usually the padding on the booth seats are more comfortable than chairs or bar stools. Since losing all this weight my tail bone sticks out and it really hurts to sit at all. LOL!

Way to go!! I have sat at tables so long I forget how nice booths can be. My belly also doesn't touch my steering wheel anymore!

Not only can I sit at a booth, but I can sit at a table in the chairs that either back up to the corner or to another diner. My friends now try to put me in the inside squeezy seat that no one wants because there is no room and I am small enough to fit. WHAT!?!?!?!

Me too @@LipstickLady!! I'm always in the squeezy seat now. I even started to do it myself rather than wait for someone to point me there. That's a big deal because it means I know I'll fit. What a difference after so many years of worrying about not being able to fit somewhere. I never tire of reading about NSV experiences @Daveo. Keep 'em coming!

And pretty soon you'll be reaching to pull the table to you, just so you can eat your meal WITHOUT it falling onto your lap, first! Loving it!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
