First Flight without a Seatbelt Extension!



Recommended Posts

Just spent an awesome week in Hawaii and although it was filled with many special times, I have to say that not having to ask the flight attendant for a seatbelt extension was a huge HIGHLIGHT! It was also great to be on a plane and not worry about spilling over onto my neighbor's space. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

That is wonderful! I fly several times a month and am looking forward to the time when I take up less space! Was actually going to go to Hawaii on vacation but instead using that time for surgery! Hoping that when I do finally book a trip the Hawaii, I'll feel great about a week at the beach.

That is so awesome! Congratulations!!! I love hearing stories like this. :) My last trip was to Jamiaca and I had a terrible flight!!!!! I have another flight to Orlando coming up in February. Feeling pretty confident I will not need a seat belt extender this time.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words... the weight loss came to a halt (self-imposed) over the holidays and this flight experience and your encouragement has motivated me to rev things up again...already down 2 pounds since Friday!

      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.
