I can cross my legs!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

One of my co-workers (who's a doll) mentioned to me (she was banded 1/08) that she could now put leg on the other leg. I was smiling and happy, as I could do that too. For me, that wasn't much of an accomplishment, but for her it was awesome. I was so happy for her. But tonight for the first time, I can put my left leg across my right leg &...IT DANGLES DOWNWARD!! Not just straight across, but down straight, sort of. I don't have to force it down, or sit weird. I'm sitting straight up, typing this, and lo and behold my right leg is over & down my left leg.:o

I'm soooo stoked!!

Just thought I'd share it with my fellow Nymphs. Hope you all have a GRRREAT 4th. I will be in the middle of BFE Nebraska & won't get to a computer till the 8th. Talk to you soon!!

Your New Nymph,

Jaime

Lol, its amazing how much little things like this give you a boost!

I can cross legs both sides, but if the right leg is on top, I can cross it AND loop the foot around the calf of my left leg. Quite comfortably too. But I cant do it with the left leg on top, weird huh?

Good one Jaime. I'm only a shortie and still have a bit of weight to go before I can do that easily. I look forward to the day! :o

      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.
