I keep trying every day- I can cross them sortof (5'9", 257) but it isn't the girly leg cross where the legs are right next to each other - the toe still points out. Looking forward to this NSV!

I'd say it was an 18, but not as comfortable as a 16, and now I am in some 14's and to sit that way is natural again. I'm with you, I was thrilled.

My new NSV was this morning, lying in bed, my DH told me "check that out, you can see your individual ribs". And I could I could feel each rib, and the separation between them!!!

Keep going, those legs will go where ya want 'em :) soon!!!

WOW, I can't wait until I can feel ribs!!!! I was excited at collar bones!

Just beginning to find pelvic bones, still a fair chunk of flesh on those puppies.. LOL

Glad this thread was bumped :)

This is on my top 10 list of why I wanted surgery. I've never in my life been able to cross my legs feminine-ly.

I was 26/28 starting this journay, I'm now 20/22 and I can now cross my left over my right (but not vise versa), and it all depends on the chair I'm in, not every chair I can do it. I can NOT wait till I can cross them without thinking about it!!

I have NEVER been able to cross my legs in my whole life! I was an obese child, so I was always chunky. I am an apple, but still my thighs won't cross.

I have no problem sitting indian style on the floor, but have never been able to cross sitting in a chair. I can't wait for that!!!! to me, being able to cross my legs is truly success!!!

OMG...I cannot cannot cannot WAIT for this NSV...I have always been comfortable Indian style (I don't think it's called that anymore...ooops.)...but I want to cross my legs like a lady...I might start wearing skirts again...I never do because my legs stay open while seated...

I hadn't even thought of this as a bonus...Something to look forward to.

Right now I am 6ft tall and 285...so I don't know if it will happen any time soon...but I hope so!

I just got banded, 1 week ago, and got a real laugh reading these messages. Also hopeful and encouraged. You made my night!

Thanks

Sadly, I have never been able to cross my legs a day in my life. I cannot imagine the job I would experience if I could do that. ;)

I have laughed right through this thread! I would LOVE to be able to do 2 things:

Cross my legs without having my fingers laced around my knee (trying to look cute, but knowing if I let go someone is going to lose an eye when my leg flings off!)

Be able to wear a skirt and pantyhose so that I can look cute crossing my legs without the friction burn I get from pantyhose and my thighs rubbing together!

I'm with you on this one. I can cross my legs but it gets tiring after a while.

Do you mean you could cross at the ankles or at the knee? Not at the knee like a man would do, but at the knee with the calf and foot pointing to the floor rather than a wall.

I am in a size 16 jeans right now and I can uncomfortably cross my legs at the knee, probably not for very long unless I kind of sit on my hip or something, does that make sense??

You know Julie, this kind of question just reminds me what thin people never even give a thought to.

Like summer heat and sweating in between the things, its like crossing legs, and bras cutting in.....but we know :rolleyes:

I take heart that it will soon be a thing of the past though :)

I think it really depends on a person's body shape. I have always had larger legs (when I was a child/teenager it was muscle - it is now fat - LOL). I could comfortably cross them at a size 16 - started at a size 24.

I agree with Leslie, it probably has more to do with body type than actual size. However, I'm currently in a 16 and I can cross them comfortably and sit like that for a while. I can't wait until I can actually hook that top leg behind the bottom leg when crossed. That's when I'll know I've arrived!! Ha!

I'm also enjoying feeling the bones in my wrists, jaw, and collar bones. It just makes me feel more feminine. It's the small things like these NSVs that make me happiest about loosing weight. Good luck to us all!!! :thumbup:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
