Sad Trip with Big NSV's

Today I just got back from a trip across the country to Sacramento for my Aunts funeral. Very sad - but I'm Irish - so it's also a family reunion too - so really enjoyed seeing all my cousins, spending time with them, and hearing how great I'm looking.

Now for the NSV's - this is the first flight since surgery. I figured the belt would now fit and it did (yippy), plus the tray went down easily (hooray). But the thing that really made my day (week, year...) was a guy volunteered to give up his aisle seat to sit in the middle seat next to me so a couple could sit together. This really blew me away - I mean I'm used to the look of fear from everyone as I walked down the aisle - you know, please don't let her be next to me! To have someone give up the aisle - holy sh*t batman!

I was also able to run from gate to gate trying to make close connections home (didn't work out). I also survived a 20 hour ordeal getting from Sacramento to Baltimore with just 3 hours sleep. I think this would have killed me pre-surgery.

Still loving my sleeve!

Those are great NSVs! I was on a plane last weekend and had that customary moment of panic when I grabbed the seat belt, but it fit with no problem. It is so great to be a loser.

I know just what you mean - I always feel like people are watching to see if it will work (crazy huh). A co-worker who also had bariatric surgery and hadn't seen me in a while told me - you now look normal. She knew I would understand - it feels so good to just blend in a little right now!

You win that bet! My seatbelt even had a little tail/extra length!

Sorry about your aunt and congrats on your NSVs. I have never flown on a plane, but can just imagine the feeling of the people watching to see if you are gonna sit by them. Ugh!!
