Just got back from Sea World with my daughter. It's the first time I've flown in two years. Normally, the belt won't fasten - this time, there was a good 6-8 inches left on it .. YaYYY. And my arse/hips didn't keep pushing the arm rest up lol, which has always happened in the past.

I was able to out walk my lil one at Sea World and she's a real bundle of energy, so that in itself was quite a feat for me. I didn't even keep having to stop and catch my breath.

<doing the happy dance even though I'm exhausted from the trip LOL>

Boy that must feel GREAT!

I tell myself I still fit into a plane seat but truth be told last time I flew in May I was very glad it was Eliza on one side of me, Ewan on the other - Fraser and Doug were across the aisle. I had the armrests up on both sides and I needed it! I can fit but its embarrassing seeing the overhang.

Sad thing is at 5ft 10 I recall being wedged into economy seats anyway even way back at 75kg or so, my legs are too long and I have to kind of sit sideways to fit them in.

wow, that is one of my pet hates - squeezing myself in to aeroplane seats - i don't think i've ever been able to do up the belt. i usually put a coat over my lap and feign sleep or intense interest in the inflight mag.

So happy for you! I honestly feel the NSV's are what keep me going in the right direction. It's so wonderful to be able to share NSV's like that here with people that so understand and Celebrate right along with you!

Thanks everyone! It all had me so happy hehe :D

Paula, you're so right! Jaz (my lil one) realizes that this time last year I couldn't have done that. For a 7 year old, she's been extremely supportive and is always telling me how great I'm looking.

Jachut, I was looking around at the room left in the seats and I noticed that even on Jaz, there was only 2 inches either side of her lil bum. Even the super skinny girl beside me was touching the edges of the armrest. Those seats are unbelievably small :/

      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.
