I can cross my legs under a table in a booth at a restaurant.

My daughter said to me the other day that she noticed I cross my legs all the time! She is 18 and it is something she has never seen me do before.

I have some big news to share with you all. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant!!! I thought this would never happen for me and my husband. I need to go talk to my surgeon as I am only shy of five months post-op. This def wasn't planned or even expected so Im a little anxious about how my body is going to handle this pregnancy on top of still healing from the bypass. Still I'm shock abd and extremely excited!

I have more confidence in standing up for imptomptu speaking in my Toastmasters International club, and am so excited at where this will help take me as a speaker. My body doesn't feel like my enemy anymore.

Congratulations! Several people became pregnant in our group as well right after surgery! It should be on the list of things that no one told you about when having this surgery!

It was mentioned in my nurse education class. My program was VERY thorough. :-)

My thighs are not rubbing anymore. All my bra's are too big. My neck is way smaller and no rolls. I can cross my legs and not hurt.

I slipped by necklace over my head without unbuckling it. I saw it was getting loser as I lose. I wear it everyday never take it off. So today was washing hair over tub and it kept getting in way without thinking I just took it off over my head, it shocked me! Then I giggled and put it back on to only take it off again the same way!!!!

I noticed this week that my thighs don't touch anymore. It feels sort of strange to feel space between them. I'm not used to it. :-)

OMG! I just noticed this this morning. I took a shower and put on what my daughter calls my "hoochie" yoga pants. My thighs weren't touching like they normally do! Yay us!

I've discovered bones that I didn't know existed. I cross my legs often. My rings are sliding off. I can fasten a bra without having to spin it around. Lol! I can only fit one bra that I outgrew years ago.

      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.
