The Perfect "ME" Day!



Recommended Posts

In an effort to get my mind off of being hungry (on liquid pre op diet-day 8) and the anxiety of my upcoming surgery (Feb 7th) I thought I would treat myself to a ME day! Hour massage and facial was just what I needed to "check out" of my head for a few hours! Feeling relaxed and happy right now!

What things do you do to try and shut your brain down from the process?

Sounds good to me...my husband's christmas present was a spa day so now that I finally know my surgery, I can book my pre-op spa day LOL

Good luck =)

I did the same thing. 1 hour deep tissue massage and a pedicure and eyebrow wax. Loved it!

I have 90 minute deep tissue massage scheduled on Friday, looking forward to it.

90 minutes! Man, my guy beats the crap out of me in 60 minutes (strong 21 year old with good arms). I had one on Sunday and I'm still hurting today! If I had 90 minutes I'd be in traction! Enjoy Terry!!!

Which is why I don't have a male therapist!

Excellent point. I guess you've got Mistress Band and I've got the Masochistic Masseuse! But even my therapist gets a massage at the salon he works at and he has it done by this woman (Mary). He told me when she got a hold of him and started in on one of his arms he dropped the F bomb! Either way, enjoy. If I had a need (and could afford it) I would go for massages weekly. But once a month is better than nothing!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
