You ain't living until you've bent over in pants just a tad too tight and split the ass out when you're at work.

Good times.

This might be hard to believe, but I have a really funny story about an event such as this. ;-)

I can't tell you how many times I blew the crotch out of my pants getting into my work van.

I've never blown out my pants but I have worn away the thighs from chub rub or made a zipper give up the ghost.

My sign was when my Ortho said I would need both my knees replaced inside 10 years (I'm 36) and my tendonitis in my elbows took 2 years to heal because of using my arms to push me out of a sitting position.

Exactly I'm 35.... I had to get a tooth pulled and they seen my bp I thought it would go down and it did then yesterday when I went to get my EGD it was up again. Now I'm taking a half a pill every other day I refuse to depend on pills!

Yeah, when my hubby was 300 pounds (he had the bypass almost 11 years ago), I used to see his crotch ripped out of his pants all the time. I would be like "How are you DOING that?!"

..... ugh the 'chub rub' with the thighs! I just got a hole and had to throw away another pair of jeans last week. That leaves me with one pair of jeans that fit currently and I'm refusing to buy more in this size.

Back in the bad old days, that would have been a sign of a different sort. And, I was an expert at one handed removal. But I have reformed since then. Just ask Mrs. LittleBill.

I am quite skilled in that area too :)

It's all fun and games until they turn the tables on you and wear one of those clasp-in-the-front bras!

I just threw out my favorite pair of jeans that had worn at the things from the chub rub! For three months though, I wore black leggings under them (they were very dark blue) so that I didn't have to throw them away. I was in a restraint at work though, and they split while I was trying to get this teenager on the ground. Couldn't have split when I was still at home, noooo, why would it happen like that?!

Mine came when I realized the woman who gave birth to me died (in her early 60s) and I found out I have the same things wrong with me that she had.

My actual sign that I needed to do this was when I got too tired out to play with my grandchildren. I want to do a lot of things with them for a long time to come.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
