I can cross my legs!



Recommended Posts

I don't remember the last time I could sit with my legs crossed. I'm almost 3 months out and I've lost 70lbs. Only obese people get what an accomplishment it is in the simple act of sitting comfortably with crossed legs. 20 more lbs and I might brave high heels. HW 330 SW 319 CW 245.

I am so with you. I remember the first time I crossed my legs in ages and it was like.... OMG!!!!!!!!!!
No one else cares or notices, but for me it was a big milestone.

Another one is no longer having anxiety about getting up off the floor.

Congrats on your crossed legs, on to the heels :-)

I just started being able to cross my legs, too! It's still a tight fit, but possible!

Today, the towel closed at the bottom!! A large bath towel (it wasn't a beach towel)!

Lol. I so remember the excitement I first had, when I could cross my legs like the old men.. I would be at work in meetings with my legs crossed my coworkers would just chuckle at me..

Crossing my legs is the best thing. I find myself doing it all the time. Oh my, and the heels. I'm so excited to wear them again. No matter how much weight I gained I refused to throw my shoes out. Last week I tried on shoes and just took pictures of my feet. I know it sounds crazy but I was so excited to be able to walk in them.

      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.
