SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted June 6, 2013 I leave Friday morning for a week in the Florida Keys...I am not stressed about sitting next to a stranger on the plane and worrying about my flab busting over the seat and touching them. I have a new size 14 bathing suit that looks adorable on me and makes my waist look tiny and my boobs look great. I'm going parasailing with my 9 year old and am not freaked out about looking like a flying whale....I'm not worried I'll get too hot or have to take a break from walking. I am just happy and excited and feel like a kid at Christmas I'm almost 1/2 way to goal, about 60 pounds to go and I feel like, for the first time ever, I'm living my life and not just watching it go by because I'm fat and insecure.

sunshine413 343 Posted June 7, 2013 This is one of my favorite posts ever!!! We have similar stats...I am 8 months post op. My surgery weight was 315. I'm now 210. You're a little smaller than me as I'm a 16 right now. I LOVE the idea of not touching the passenger next to me on a plane. I've not flown since surgery when I had to ask flight attendants for seatbelt extenders. Congrats and enjoy!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
