When you are walking and you feel your panties rolling off under your dress because they're too big!

I never crossed my legs really, even when I wasn't large. Now all I do is cross and un-cross my legs to the point I am annoying myself. I love it, It is comfortable and when I do it with a dress on I feel super sexy.

I think women crossing their legs with panties flying off is sexy too. Just saying.

To tell a little known secret about men, we are extremely visual and crossed legs is like a sign saying "hey dumby, check HER out". I've had 4 ear operations when I was younger so there are certain sounds that I don't hear well. The one sound that grabs my head and rips it around is the sound of heels on a hard surface floor. They don't have to be stilettos, just a normal short heel will do it.

When you have consumed so many the idea of drinking another Protein shake in your lifetime makes you nauseous.

Fof the first time in years I have to take clothes off because they are just way too big instead of too tight. Such a big change, mentally I feel so liberated.

THIS! I can't even count how many times over the last 8 months I've thought "man, I can't go outside in this, it's ridiculously big". In the previous 42 years of my life I think I had that thought about ZERO times.

When you have to wear a belt and a scarf to hide how big your old winter sweater dress really fits. Without the belt or the scarf I could not leave my house wearing that dress. It is crazy to me that 7 months ago I could no longer wear it because i looked pregnant in it. Now i have to trap it down so I dont look like I am wearing a rag. Without the belt the dress was way over my knees and the top went so low my boops were showing. Thankfully I had a nice scarf to wrap it around my kneck. I think it time to go shopping. Fof the first time in years I have to take clothes off because they are just way too big instead of too tight. Such a big change, mentally I feel so liberated. I actually tried on a size 14 pants today and a xl skirt and they fit perfectly. I could not believe what i saw in the mirror. ????????????.

Feel so happy for you, the new you and your new life.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
