Such a great feeling (as I cross my legs) :) it has been in the last 6 months that I was able to start crossing my legs. So many more things to come in the future :)

I can so relate. I lost a lot of weight one time and out of no where went to cross my legs and they crossed. It was a glorious feeling, but course I gained that weight back plus some.:( I'm looking forward to that not happening this time. Congratulations girl!

CG this post took me STRAIGHT back to that moment when I first crossed my legs. I hadn't been able to do it for 16 years before that moment. And in the years since I'd forgotten how damned excited I was at the time. Thank you for reminding me and congratulations!

      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.
