crossing my legs at long last!!



Recommended Posts

YAY I can finally cross my legs!! This has always been a goal for me!

Granted I have to shift my tush so that I am on a slant, but going in the right direction! I cant wait for the day when I can sit in a seat and cross my legs all comfy and ladylike!

Any non-band goals for you all to look forward to???

Hi Restict2008,

Funny you should mention crossing your legs. :) I've kept a small list of things I look forward to after the weight is gone.

I look forward to having a lap. It's easy to forget how convenient a lap can be.

I look forward to NOT having to scout out the largest exit possibility from a restaurant.

I can't wait to hold a clipboard and be able to rest it on my knee like skinny people, rather than this odd juggle in my arms.

I was banded a week ago tomorrow, so I've got quite a way to go. Not even feeling good at this point. But I can't wait to post with the types of progress that I see you all posting with. Good job! Keep up the good work.

I giggled when I read your post, (I haven't been banded yet) But as most of us have, I've gained and lost weight plenty of times, one of the things I liked was this one time I went to a movie theater I put my feet up on the chair with my knees to my chest so someone could pass in front of me. *Sigh.. that day will come again for me as well.. in the mean time I'll live through you and your experience.. Little milestones are great aren't they?

Congratulations!

If I sit at a tilt I can now cross my legs. It's amazing. I can't wait to just drape my leg over without forcing it. I went shopping over the weekend. I went from a 24 pants to an 18!! I even looked at swimsuits. UGH!!! I found some that held in my tummy and kept my boobs in place, but they wanted $92 for a swimsuit!!! I go to Water aerobics three times a week, and I'll use it, but I figure that at the rate I'm losing, it will be too big in two months and I will have wasted the money. I'm not paying that for a swimsuit!! I no longer grunt when I tie my shoes. I can comfortably shave my legs without contorting myself. I can shave my entire underarm. I didn't SQUEEZE into the movie theater seat yesterday. I'm loving it!

Wow, this is funny. I've also lost and gained several persons worth of weight over my life. I'm not banded yet either, and what I remember as a personal "milestone" was buying smaller underwear and finally at my goal, being able to see daylight between my thighs while standing with my feet together!!!!

I haven't be banded yet either but I can't wait to cross my legs either. My mother is english and it makes me feel unladylike because I can't. She dosen't say anything about it but I'd like to feel proper again.

My real goal is to beable to buy pretty panties instead of granny panties!!:biggrin2:

OMG, this is so awesome! Started crossing my legs about a month ago and I actually felt like I wasnt going to fall over! hahaha.

Too bad it increases occurrence of spider/varicose veins though... :-(

      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.
