You ain't living until you've bent over in pants just a tad too tight and split the ass out when you're at work.

Good times.

This might be hard to believe, but I have a really funny story about an event such as this. ;-)

I can't tell you how many times I blew the crotch out of my pants getting into my work van.

I've never blown out my pants but I have worn away the thighs from chub rub or made a zipper give up the ghost.

My sign was when my Ortho said I would need both my knees replaced inside 10 years (I'm 36) and my tendonitis in my elbows took 2 years to heal because of using my arms to push me out of a sitting position.

Exactly I'm 35.... I had to get a tooth pulled and they seen my bp I thought it would go down and it did then yesterday when I went to get my EGD it was up again. Now I'm taking a half a pill every other day I refuse to depend on pills!

Yeah, when my hubby was 300 pounds (he had the bypass almost 11 years ago), I used to see his crotch ripped out of his pants all the time. I would be like "How are you DOING that?!"

..... ugh the 'chub rub' with the thighs! I just got a hole and had to throw away another pair of jeans last week. That leaves me with one pair of jeans that fit currently and I'm refusing to buy more in this size.

Back in the bad old days, that would have been a sign of a different sort. And, I was an expert at one handed removal. But I have reformed since then. Just ask Mrs. LittleBill.

I am quite skilled in that area too :)

It's all fun and games until they turn the tables on you and wear one of those clasp-in-the-front bras!

I just threw out my favorite pair of jeans that had worn at the things from the chub rub! For three months though, I wore black leggings under them (they were very dark blue) so that I didn't have to throw them away. I was in a restraint at work though, and they split while I was trying to get this teenager on the ground. Couldn't have split when I was still at home, noooo, why would it happen like that?!

Mine came when I realized the woman who gave birth to me died (in her early 60s) and I found out I have the same things wrong with me that she had.

My actual sign that I needed to do this was when I got too tired out to play with my grandchildren. I want to do a lot of things with them for a long time to come.

      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.
