I just got back from vacation on Thursday, flying was a great experience for me! The seatbelt fit without any hesitation and there was so much spare! I feel you boo, I used to hate flying now I love it

I can't wait until I can sprint for the gate without getting so out of breath I feel like I'm gonna die. Since I am ALWAYS cutting it too close.

I flew to FL for work last week; annual trip. I dreaded it for weeks ahead of time.

I could not lift my luggage into the overhead bin. Someone had to help me. I could barely fasten the seat belt. I could NOT put the tray table down at all. The 12 yr old girl next to me saw my struggle and offered her tray table to set my Water on. I was so flippin embarrassed. All I could think is, "This time next year, this will not be such a struggle".

I actually changed jobs because I used to travel a lot and I just couldn't stand it anymore! I would be so tired and felt beat up by the time I got to the hotel. I would get into the hotel room, turn the AC up full blast, jerk off my clothes, then lie down to rest before meeting my co-workers for dinner. I would cry having to contend with putting my clothes and bra back on to go down for dinner.

This trip was no different. I'm so glad to be home to prepare for my surgery on August 30.

@luvelye1101... yep I totally get it girl. Better days are ahead!

It's such an amazing feeling the first time you fly after!

I never needed an extender, but would be anxious about it each time. The tray table, the extra slack on the belt, being able to bend over to get things out of your bag, it's all amazing.

Seriously the best NSV feeling in the world!!

I flew from California to halifax Canada almost in tears because every time I put my seat belt on I would push down on my fat just so I didn't have to ask for an extender. My husband was watching me and asked me if i wanted him to ask for one for me. I was so embarrassed and he probably was to. There was no more slack and I made it work some how. Undoing it felt like flinging a rubber band across my lap. Your legs look great by the way. And most of all congratulations on the seat belt slack.

I can't wait for that too. We are planning a trip next October to Celebrate 10

years of marriage. By that time I should be 13 months post op And a bunch lighter. I also can't wait to be able to go on Rollercoaster without the anxiety and embarrassment of being kicked off for being too heavy

My thoughts exactly. I bring my own seatbelt extender just in case. The tray never goes all the way down. Every time I get upset about this pre op I think of things like that

      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.

      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!!

      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...
