OK, so I've heard about airlines cracking down on overweight passengers and now my fear is at a higher level because of this story.
I haven't flown since last winter because I was at the end of my pregnancy and then was doing the newborn thing. But I'm **really** nervous about an upcoming trip in March. Right now I weigh 233.5. I'm sure I've flown a little heavier than that and not gotten kicked off. I can probably lose another 8-9 pounds before the March trip. Anyone here flown at 225 and had any problems?
I'm going with my husband's entire family and our two older children. I will die a thousand deaths if I get kicked off the plane for being too fat in front of all of them.

The Fill Works - But Not Quite Enough
The good news is, I do seem to stay full longer with this 4 cc fill. Food actually leaves my mind for a while after I eat! Crazy.
The bad news is, I was still able to eat a pretty big dinner last night at a restaurant.
(This Valentine dinner was a preplanned girls' night out - our husbands were on childcare duty. The three of us were the only non-couple table in the entire restaurant.)
Anyway, I was able to eat one roasted (moist) shrimp, two medium-size scallops and a pretty decent size piece of sea bass with quinoa and sweet pea risotto. Oh, um, and flourless chocolate cake with a small scoop of raspberry sorbet.
Good news: I put my fork down after every bite, concentrated on talking rather than eating. Bad news: I drank water (and a glass of sangria - yum) with dinner, which I never do normally.
I don't actually feel terribly guilty about any of this, so this isn't a 'confession,' really. I've done well since the fill last week and the scale is moving in the right direction and I know I will continue to make good choices. But I do think my ability to eat that much at dinner means I'll be ready for another fill when I go back to my surgeon on March 2nd.
