Not stuck in the tub!

  • Popular Post

I guess this comes under the heading of a NSV! I took a bath this morning for the first time in years. Not only did I get into the tub, more importantly, I got OUT of the tub by turning over onto my hands and knees to get up! I was amazed that I could maneuver my body around like that! Also, my pants are way toooo big!

  • isn't it great? i can even flip over onto my stomach in the bath. Not sure why I like to do that so much other than it gives a really nice back stretch... maybe it's just because i CAN?

I can relate to having to grease my hips to her in and out if the tub, and to being a human dam as well!

Congrats on your successes!

Haha human dam. I'm two weeks post opt and before surgery when I took a bath I always felt like a human dam. The Water in front of me was always much deeper, than what was behind me. That was until I let the water out. I have to move to the side to let the back of the dam out. LOL.

I also have to rotate onto my knees and arms to get out. However at this point I have to sit on the edge of the tub and pull myself up to get out. I use to love baths but I hate them now cause it's so hard to get out. I don't have a shower so I go to my aunt's house for showers. Will probably continue until I've lost a lot of weight. I have gotten stuck in the tub where I couldn't pull myself up. I now fear the tub.
