Crossing your legs....



Recommended Posts

Does anyone find themselves crossing their legs when you sit all the time now that you can do it? I can't seem to get mine to stop crossing. The only time they do stop is when I sit with one foot up on the chair and rest my chin on my knee. I am just so damn excited I can sit with thinner legs.

I was actually thinking the same thing at work today. I have noticed that I am constantly crossing and recrossing my legs and I get this big smile on my face because I can!

Same here, it's such a good feeling. MSS I was banded by Dr Watson the week before you and we are practically the same BMI and weight loss - spin out!!!!

I just posted this same thing as one of my NSV's!! I LOVE crossing my legs and I do it ALL the time. Whether I'm wearing shorts, jeans, dressed up or not :)

And like Kacee said - I don't have to hold it there!

Tifferoni, I do that too. I cross under my desk, under the cafeteria table, all the time.

Thanks Travelgirl! I was way excited to see that on the scale this morning.

I could cross my legs fairly elegantly even at my highest weight - didnt have to do the man style ankle on knee thing, so this wasnt an NSV for me, but I just then caught myself not only crossing my leg but twining my foot and ankle round the back of the leg - I try to remind myself not to do it becuase doesnt it give you varicose veins?

Yessssssssssssss.

I use to envy people for crossing their legs.

I can now cross my left over right ANYWHERE ANYTIME!!!

Right over left still doesn't work for me, but I think it has to do with the curve in my spine.. my hips are off by a couple inches, so one of my legs doesn't bend or move as much as the other.

But, I find myself crossing my legs all the time.. at dinner, in someone's office, at home watching tv, etc.

Woohoo NSV.

Im happy to know that Im not the only one. Sometimes I think people are going to think that I think Im prissy now that I have lost weight.

someone once said something like that to me...I told them that my mother taught me that ladys cross thier legs..and hold a penny between thier knees..:heh:--wonder where that penny went anyways--but it shut them up..besides..you are allowed to be prissy..youre a girl!

      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.
