Nsv On The Plane Today......



Recommended Posts

Terrible photo with the iPad but look at the seatbelt! That is the excess once I pulled it in. Presurgery I was struggling to do it up and on the border of asking for an extension belt. Today, I got to tighten it. And LOOK!

That's definitely on my list. I can't wait to fly to see how far I've come. The last time I flew was well before my surgery and I had to ask for an extender! That is an awful and embarrassing feeling. I said never again! A great victory for you!

Thank you!

I fly regularly for my work and on the small planes was at the point of asking for the extension belt. On the bigger planes I could get it done up but sometimes it was a real squeeze. I had noticed it was getting easier and easier but it was only yesterday I looked at the excess belt and it sunk in.

See I forgot to measure myself presurgery. I weighed, but never measured. I wish I had done this. There was something so unexpected about looking at the inches on that belt and realising that this is what I have lost from my girth. I am certain the guy next to me was wondering why I was trying to take a photo of my lap while giggling and twittering to myself with glee!

Love it. I also to pictures of my seat belt tail the last time I flew 4 months post op and I can't wait to take one again the next time I fly. I didn't have to ask for an extender before but the belt had to be all the way out and some planes it was a little to tight.

Congrats!!!! It's a good feeling for sure. I flew this last weekend and had the same experience. Not only did the seat belt have extra room but the tray table didn't touch my stomach... I was amazed that there was a ton of room between me and the tray table... I thought I was flying first class!!!!!

      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.
