I have been fat all my life. Never have been able to cross my legs like a lady. I can and always have been able to sit crossed leg though. I am hoping in the future I can just sit like a lady, instead of just at the ankles ! LOL

As soon as I realized I could do it again, my legs have been crossed 90% of the time I'm sitting. I love it!

Yup. And as an added bonus, it slides you over to one buttcheek where you get a little better padding than you would on your ever bonier sit bones!

That's one of the things I'm looking forward to myself.

I hate the fact that I can't even close my legs. Its like gravity keeps pulling them apart.

I can't wait to cross my legs! A friend of mine who had bypass said that she likes crossing her legs because her excess skin slides down and all she sees is perfect thighs!

I can assure you it feels wonderful to sit and be able to cross your legs I just noticed it yesterday when I went to sit down in the couch and I crossed my legs with no problem. :-)

      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.
