Emotional victory! I'm sitting here in tears on a plane. I'm sure those around me wonder what's wrong with me. At 2 weeks and 2 days post RNY, I have lost enough belly that the seat belt fits! No more extender humiliation! This is such a huge win for me - I'm a frequent traveler and always dreaded this part, even though I got smart and purchased my own extender. It's going in the garbage now!

I've never flown anywhere so have never had that issue but I CAN imagine how great it feels! Congratulations! Start a list of milestones and victories to help you make good choices on those hard days. I have a list and my before picture posted on my frig even 4 years out to keep me focused!

That was my favorite victory too.  We should all pool our seat belt extenders and make some sort of an art project. An ode to triumph.

I did the same thing last week on a flight to Phoenix. (Why the hell I was flying there in a heat wave is another story). I asked for the extender but didn't need it. I kept looking down to make sure I wasn't dreaming. And I could even cross my legs!!! This is ine hell of an emotional rollercoaster journey we all are on??

Isn't it awesome?

It sure is a roller coaster!  Incidentally, I was flying to PHX too. Blazing hot!
