What? You mean this isn't my skeletal structure ? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I have a medically large bone structure. That still doesn't justify an extra 200 pounds. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/imagepages/17182.htm

So there's a stereotype about overweight people: We all think we have a large bone structure. I remember hearing this many years before surgery was even a blip on my radar. I thought, yes that's true. Lots of overweight people probably think they have a large bone structure and don't. But not me. I REALLY have one.
Well guess what? I don't. My Fitbit broke after having it 10 months. It was a size large, but I'd gradually been tightening it to nearly the last hole. I measured to make sure a size small would fit before I got a new one. My wrist was 6.25 inches. Wow, that seemed small.
So it got me thinking. I looked up a bone structure calculator online. Sure enough, at 5'6" that means I have a medium bone structure.
Who would have thought? The fun things you learn after WLS!
