You know the way skinny people sit...where they pull their knees up to their chest and then put their arms around them...I can do it too!!!

And...it's really comfy...no wonder the skinny folk like it so much.

That's great. I also can't wait until I can cross my legs. Crouching down for long periods hurts as well. You go girl!!!!!!! It's amazing the things we can do once we have lost those extra pounds.:blushing:

Isn't this fun?!?

My breakthrough was when I could finally do "happy baby" without my stomach getting in the way!

Just call me "Gumby".

I squated down to teach my granddaughter how to play jacks the other day, and realized I was not hurting anywhere doing it---nor was I tri-podded using my belly for balance!!! It might not have really been that way, but it sure felt that way!!!

I am amazed at how limber I really am without all the extra bulk in the way......so is DH!!!!

:crying:I remember pre-kids when I had lost a bunch of weight from Jenny Craig. I could finally cross my legs and found myself doing it always. AHHHHHHHHHH to be at that point again.

Another thing I have found myself able to do that I love is pull my leg up, like the original poster mentioned...but I can do that and do my own pedicure. I can paint my nails, and even do it neatly!!!!

HAAAAAA that's funny! I have been procrastinating on my pedicure for that reason only. I hate doing them on my own and with kids home from school havn't been able to go in. You Go!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
