It's Official - No seatbelt extender needed



Recommended Posts

I am so excited! I am sitting on a plane and I'm able to fasten my seatbelt without having to ask for a seatbelt extender! I have flown for the last two weeks for work and haven't had to ask for one and today I'm on a different airline than I normally fly and I don't need an extender for their planes either. So seatbelt extender free on American & Delta airlines! I am smiling from ear to ear!

Thanks Gurliepunk12543! How was Disney? Were you able to ride the rides? I can't wait to go to an amusement park and be able to fit in the rides. It's amazing how the little things make such a difference!

That is so great excited for you also since it seems you have to do alot of flying with your job. I know that feeling because I used to watch a show that they had on about south west airlines and twice I saw them make a heavy person step to the side to tell them that they had to purchase two seats because of their size. OMG! when my family wanted to take a cruise in 2011 I was ok bought 2 tickets for me and oldest daughter. Then they told me that it was leaving out of orlando florida. I was going to rent a car to drive there instead of flying because I was scared they were going to embarrass me and ask me to step aside and then buy another ticket (didn't know anything about extenders) my daughter thought I was being silly but inside I was a nervous wreck. So the day of the departure from Dallas/Fort Worth airport I walked up handed my ticket got on the plane and pulled that seat belt and sucked my gut it and it snapped. I told my daughter I wouldn't drink anything prior because I didn't want to have to unbuckle and squeeze down to the restroom. on the way back someone had adjusted the seatbelt so I started to freak out when the seatbelt wouldn't snap but then I slowed down my breathing re-adjusted it and it snapped. All of this was pre surgery now I can't wait until next plane trip so I can do this with no fear of someone stepping up to me to pull me aside and tell me to purchase 2 seats. :rolleyes: (and by the way I am told I watch way to many movies if any of you saw Tyler Perry's why did I get married then you should understand what I am saying. Sad :(

      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.
