I flew....I fit!!!!



Recommended Posts

First time on an airplane since my January 9th surgery. I flew across the country. And I fit!! I could put the tray down. I sat in the middle and didn’t spill over into the other seats. It was such a great moment. I cried. I’m sooooo thankful I finally did this for myself.

So happy for you. I know that feeling exactly Before my surgery I purchase a seat extendor cause I was embarrass to ask the flight attendant for one.

Last month flew to Chicago with my daughter and packed it with me. I still think after losing 90 pounds I still need it. Not only did I not need it. But had extra belt left over when I fastened it

does anybody think like me and see themselves still heavy.

All the time!! I gauge if I can fit walking between people in my office or between tables at a restaurant....I still think I’m too fat to fit.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
