I had two this weekend-I flew on Friday night and not only could I buckle the seatbelt, I had to significantly tighten it. And there was room in the seat. I used to be squeezed in and had to hide that the seatbelt wouldn't fasten because I did not want to ask for an extension... I went shopping today and bought myself some new workout clothes-in the "ladies" section, not the plus size. I was sleeved on October 9 and have lost 58 pounds. I am happy with my loss today, but am in a stall so it was great to have some other signs that I am making progress!

NSV with clothes is always great :)

Kudos!!!!

i thought "only" size of clothing was Plus Size!!!!

there is a regular womens size too?? :lol:

good for you!!

congrats on your plane NSV

had to tighten the seat belt!!!! Way to Go!!!!!

i also used to "hide" the fact that seat belt wouldn't close :(

busted - flight attendant saw me, and discreetly handed me extender!!! :(

my NSV - flew a couple of weeks ago - i sat in the middle seat - no problem

room to spare on each side of my butt :lol:

Wow - best flight i ever had!!!! :)

Congratulations!! I know the feeling about the airplane seats. I always feel self conscious that the person next to me will think I should have been ordered to get two seats. I have to squeeze in, and though the belt still fits me (well, last I flew it did lol and that was 20 pounds ago), it has to be fully extended and it's not comfortable. So I really feel your excitement on the plane!!

And I think shopping in the regular sections will be my favorite NSV once I get there. I'm a 29 year old mother... It seems like all the plus size clothes come in two styles: young party/clubbing clothes and old lady clothes! Lol I will be so glad to have more options!!! :)

Congratulations!!! What awesome victories!!

      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.
