I fit in the booth at Red Lobster today!
About 2 weeks before surgery I went to Red Lobster with my best friend and my husband. I remember it being soooo uncomfortable, as I barely had breathing room in the booth that we were sitting in. It felt like the table was pushing into my stomach.
Well today for lunch my husband took me to Red Lobster and we sat in the same exact booth we had sat in that last time, and I had about 3 inches of space between me and the table!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That moment was SO COOL!!! I couldn't believe it, it felt sooo good! I just wanted to share my moment with you guys.

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.

Before my surgery I had just gotten to the point where I had to squeeze to get into a movie theater seat.
Now -- no problem.

Thats wonderful! This is just the beginning it all gets better from here! Before booths were the enemy now I'd prefer to sit in a booth just because I can! Congratulations!

That's so cool! What a great moment for you. I hope when you got home you did a happy dance, I know I did when it happened to me. Some little victories like this many people take for granted. Remember to enjoy the process while you are losing!

Ain't it the greatest?! You'll never want to sit at a table again! We all know the feeling and we share your excitement!

Tiffany,
I know just how you feel. What an awesome feeling. Something else I noticed is that when I drop food, it now longer lands on my boobs. It misses the boobs completely and lands on the table. I get such a kick out of it. Congratulations to you.
Tracy
