YAY I can finally cross my legs!! This has always been a goal for me!

Granted I have to shift my tush so that I am on a slant, but going in the right direction! I cant wait for the day when I can sit in a seat and cross my legs all comfy and ladylike!

Any non-band goals for you all to look forward to???

Hi Restict2008,

Funny you should mention crossing your legs. I've kept a small list of things I look forward to after the weight is gone.

I look forward to having a lap. It's easy to forget how convenient a lap can be.

I look forward to NOT having to scout out the largest exit possibility from a restaurant.

I can't wait to hold a clipboard and be able to rest it on my knee like skinny people, rather than this odd juggle in my arms.

I was banded a week ago tomorrow, so I've got quite a way to go. Not even feeling good at this point. But I can't wait to post with the types of progress that I see you all posting with. Good job! Keep up the good work.

good luck to you too, Andi!! I will keep my fingers (and legs) crossed for you!!:biggrin2:

I realized this the other day.. i crossed my legs without thinking!!!:thumbup:

I giggled when I read your post, (I haven't been banded yet) But as most of us have, I've gained and lost weight plenty of times, one of the things I liked was this one time I went to a movie theater I put my feet up on the chair with my knees to my chest so someone could pass in front of me. *Sigh.. that day will come again for me as well.. in the mean time I'll live through you and your experience.. Little milestones are great aren't they?

Congratulations!

you will get there maya!

Crossing your legs is a great NSV! Congratulations!!! :thumbup:

If I sit at a tilt I can now cross my legs. It's amazing. I can't wait to just drape my leg over without forcing it. I went shopping over the weekend. I went from a 24 pants to an 18!! I even looked at swimsuits. UGH!!! I found some that held in my tummy and kept my boobs in place, but they wanted $92 for a swimsuit!!! I go to water aerobics three times a week, and I'll use it, but I figure that at the rate I'm losing, it will be too big in two months and I will have wasted the money. I'm not paying that for a swimsuit!! I no longer grunt when I tie my shoes. I can comfortably shave my legs without contorting myself. I can shave my entire underarm. I didn't SQUEEZE into the movie theater seat yesterday. I'm loving it!

that is a wonderful NSV!

Congrats!

Wow, this is funny. I've also lost and gained several persons worth of weight over my life. I'm not banded yet either, and what I remember as a personal "milestone" was buying smaller underwear and finally at my goal, being able to see daylight between my thighs while standing with my feet together!!!!

I haven't be banded yet either but I can't wait to cross my legs either. My mother is english and it makes me feel unladylike because I can't. She dosen't say anything about it but I'd like to feel proper again.

My real goal is to beable to buy pretty panties instead of granny panties!!:biggrin2:

I hear ya, nathenag!

Great job!!!! has anyone heard of dr. maese in dallas texas??? He is wonderful!!! He is fast and painless on fills and I have lost so much!!! I was with a different doctor but I decided to change because after one year i had only lost 15 lbs but in the last 6 months since i changed to maese i have lost 45 lbs!!!!If any one is in dallas area you are a fool not to use him!!!!

Putting a laptop computer on my lap would be nice!!

OMG, this is so awesome! Started crossing my legs about a month ago and I actually felt like I wasnt going to fall over! hahaha.

Too bad it increases occurrence of spider/varicose veins though... :-(

Awesome NSV still!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the band!

One day you will cross your legs and they will touch all the way down and you will even loop your toes back around the back of your calf a second time without even realizing it.

Sometimes I forget how much I love my band.

:-)
