TREAT YO SELF



Recommended Posts

Hi all. The thrifty side of me is coming out as I see all of these. I am sure most of you use it , but there may be a few unfamiliar with it, but check out GROUPON to help reduce the cost of some of those treats. It also may give you some ideas for new treats. I live in a pretty big city so my available options may be more than many but dang you can get some good deals. Massages, restlyn, Botox, facials, teeth whitening, Pilates classes, body scrubs, laser hair removal, waxing, mini get always, etc! I always Yelp or google the places before to see if they are recommended. I just recently bought during their health and beauty extra 20% off 3 - 1 hour long sessions in a sensory deprivation floating chamber for 80 bucks!! I am scared/excited to try! It is supposed to help you center and relax. We shall see.

I'm nervous about using Groupon ads for cosmetic injectibles (Botox, Restylane, Juviderm, etc.) administered by random people without medical degrees of any kind who work in strip mall shops.

I'm OK with trying out a new hairdresser I've never used before. But NOT for cosmetic injectibles!

If you live in an urban area another good resource is schools, like massage schools, cosmetology schools, etc.

I hear you in that! I haven't tried injectables from there. In my area of the states there are actually Dr. Offices who do groupon as well. San Francisco is a very competitive market for that I guess!! Luckily (or not haha) my dr is actually in my work building!!

And i totally agree about massage schools!! You really get a lot for your money!!! And because they are learning they really try hard!!!

I guess at the end of the day, whether it is a massage or a new haircut or just a new bottle of nail polish or a magazine (I couldn't think of something small a guy may reward himself with).... We should all remember we are doing a great job and working this journey and we deserve to be treated!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
