Sleeved on 12/18 and heading for vaca to Botswana on 3/23- come on weigh loss

[Justwander 3]

I'm elated to be going on this safari in March and pray that I lose 40-50 pounds before the trip, mostly because I have to sit on a plane for 16 hours straight. Ugh!!!!! For the past few years, I travel with a prayer that the seat belt will actually connect and then do everything I can to squeeze into the window to give as much space as possible to my neighbor. I fully understand that everyone loses at a different speed and I'm afraid I'm a slow loser, having only lost 12 pounds in 13 days post surgery. I'm really not unhappy being a slow loser, but the thinner I am for this trip the easier it will be while on that flight. Wish me luck sleeve fam!

What an exciting trip!! Sending fast, healthy weight loss your way! Please share pics when you return. What will you be doing there and what made you select that destination?

Joy, thank you much. And i will share a few pictures. My friend Sam and I have used a company that allows you to travel on you own but sets it all up. They had a great description of a tour in Botswana so we decided to go for it. Highlights include: 3 safaris (boat, jeep and walking) and visiting a traditional village and Victoria Falls.

By the way, I had no clue where Botswana was in Africa prior to this trip. If you are in the same boat as me, it's the country directly north of the country South Africa.

I went to Italy in 2007. It was THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE flight I ever took. The seats were so tiny! I hope your trip is comfy and you're able to do everything you want! My father and brother went to Botwana twice for vacation. They said it was AWESOME!!!
