Not stuck in the tub!



Recommended Posts

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!

YAY! I've been fortuntate to have never had trouble getting out of the tub even at 360 pounds..... but I am eagerly awaiting the day when I'm no longer a human dam!

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.

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? ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
