Bea - I love my bones too! I know that sounds silly, but I love my collar bone, wrists, ankles and hips...starting to feel some rib bones too. I'm down to a 14 - I can't do the "full cross/hook" yet, but am counting the days!

Hah glad this was bumped yet again, I got my update on it!

At size 18 I was able to easily cross left leg over right no matter what chair I was in.

At size 14 I can cross either leg, anywhere.. even sittin on the edge of a counter, etc. Wooflippinhoo!!

I put 22 because I always cross my legs. But I realized I do it "man style" so I can still do that pretty darn fat! Can I change my vote? :thumbup:

I became comfortable doing it for an extended period at 16. but upper sizes could still cross for short periods. Now in a size 10 they are more comfortable crossed than not. :0)

I haven't been able to cross my legs in so long. When wearing a dress or skirt I usually bring a scarf to tuck under my knees to hold them together lol

At 14, I can do the cross quite comfortably/effortlessly, and the foot is notsticking out. However, I cannot yet do the 'hook' - maybe in another 1 or 2 sizes.

Have to smile at the "bone" comments ~

As I begin to trim down, I love when I start noticing and feeling that "long, lean" look - specifically in my arms - wrists and fingers look like a "normal" size person.

Cannot comfortably cross legs yet but looking forward to it - along with the Indian style sitting. For years I have stayed away from getting down on the ground simply because it is too difficult to get back up.

But I do love that chairs are not feeling tight and uncomfortable as much anymore. It keeps me going!!

It has been so long since I have crossed my legs. I stopped wearing dresses on a regular basis because I could not longer cross my legs. I am already short (I have been claiming 5 foot 4 for years but my surgeon's office burst my bubble on that. I am now officially 5 foot 1 1/2) so I couldn't really cross them gracefully even slim. Now I can't even cross them like a man comfortably. Such is life. I will be glad when I can do that. Sigh.

Jachut - I wish I could hook...I do cross my right leg a lot easier than my left though. I wonder if they are disproportionate? I haven't measured them...or if it is just the right brain/left brain - strength thing.

      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.
