I was a size 14 when I first could cross my legs. I did it without noticing and I looked down and started to cry. I haven't been able to do that in a long time!

As I sit here at the computer desk in my size 16s my legs are crossed. Who would have thought it would be a big deal? I always show it off to my friends. "Hey, guys check this out! See, my legs are crossed. Cool right?" :nervous They thinkg I'm an idiot!

Thin people totally don't get how big of a deal this is to us. I started at 18/20 and am now 14/16 (3 months from surgery). I can comfortably cross my legs now. One direction is more comfortable than the other, though. I try to remember not to sit too long like that because it really isn't the best way to sit for circulation and stuff, but when I am somewhere that I have to sit and my legs can be seen, it's really cool to be able to cross them in a ladylike way!

Truly one of my first big NSV's.

This is a fun conversation. I'm a 16 and days of crossing my legs comfortably are closer every Sunday when I wear a dress to church, but, my foot hits the back of the chair in front of me. I'm waiting for it to swing comfortably towards the floor. I thought I was the only one that thought of these crazy things.

I was a size 14/16 last year and could cross my legs uncomfortably, and now I am a 20 and don't even bother. It bothers me a lot that about 5 months ago I could if i had to. now i feel like a man in a dress. Isn't this board great! I could never ever admit that to others. I have a hard time admitting it to myself.

I can't remember the last time I was able to comfortably cross my legs like a woman. I always cross them like a man does because my belly and thighs get in the way if I try it the other way. I can do it, but my legs start to hurt after a couple minutes from the strain of trying to hold them together.

Seriously, I've read this on Weight Loss Surgery websites for years - but don't get it.

Even though I was obese, I never was unable to cross my legs so I have no idea of at what point it becomes impossible. Of course I'm really tall and had really long, thick legs. So even when I was obese, maybe I was good at hauling all that flab and just moved them around really well.

Interesting thread.

I think Fauxnaif and NewSho really hit upon it. Weight isn't the only factor, height has something to do with it too.

I am in the middle.... :) I use to be able to cross them at a larger size then others who were much shorter then me, and while "fluffy" wearing a smaller size then me. However, at the size I am now, I couldn't do it. At the same time my bestfriend, who has me by about 5 in. in height, yet wears the same size as I do, can.

As for me, I can't wait until I can comfortably cross my legs (without them sticking a mile high) again, too!

This is definately a goal for me too. I fantasize about wearing a pretty skirt with tall high heel boots and being able to sexily cross my legs... Being vertically challenged, I have a ways to go...

I tend to think that flexability plays a role as well. I mean of course when you have rolls in the way...flexible or not there will be things you can not do. I can cross my legs but I can not double cross them anymore and that I am looking forward to. Well that and Yoga Poses!

      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.
