Oh my gosh! me too.

just got back from vacation -haven't flown in about five years -the last flight was an embarrassment that I'll never forget!

no set-belt extender! I kept looking down at my lap and judging the distance between the end of me and the room left in the seat. I couldn't believe it!

I have to admit I was like a kid' bucking and unbuckling the seat belt, and every time, giddy.

isn't it wonderful!!

congratulations!

Congratulations!!!!!!

I flew last month and could barely get the seatbelt on but I did it. As uncomfortable as it was, I was going to win!

Congratulations! I am flying 4 weeks from today and I am dreading the flight due to the seat belt situation, I probably will need one. I was at this weight a while ago and did not need one, but I gained weight since then and lost it again, but when I regained it, it all went to my butt it seems, and it hasn't really left there yet.

Congratulations! It's always so much fun, fitting into smaller places that were once too snug. (I was happy to use an airplane bathroom recently--seriously, it was a thrill. Ah, simple pleasures!)

On that same subject. Don't you, or should I say didn't you just hate the ladies rooms that you had to straddle the seat to close the doors and open them again. Glad that I finally am past that stage too!

Congrats! Seems all of us know exactly how you feel. I'm looking forward to do the day when, confronted with any chair, regardless of how narrow, I won't have to worry about being able to sit comfortably in it. I hope to never have aches in the sides of my legs again!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
