As some of you know, one of my favorite rewards is getting a massage. I had one this week and was thinking about what progress I have made since surgery.

When I started getting massages I wasn't even sure if I could get on the massage table and needed help getting on the table and off. Now, I can get on and off the table all by myself as well as turn over on the table by myself, too!

That's awesome! Being obese and constantly worrying about those things causes people (myself included) to avoid a lot things they might otherwise enjoy.

Thank you for sharing your victory with us. For those of us just starting our journey it's a glimmer of light!

Totally agree! I have one monthly with someone I really trust - she has always made me feel normal, even at 385 pounds. Can't wait until turning over doesn't result in all the sheets and pads coming along with me!

that's great! I've studied massage therapy for about 30 years. have plans to go to school for it when Margaret graduates high school. I never would have had the stamina before my surgery.

Eeeewwww! No thank you.

With my Fibro, just the idea of some one laying their hands on me and applying pressure makes me hurt.

I realize that massage is wonderful of some people and helpful. It's just not for me.

I guess I'll just have to keep searching for my pleasure NSV. It's out there somewhere.

In the meantime, Enjoy ISG! You've certainly earned your "massage moments". Enjoy, my friend. :)

Yay!

The last time I has a massage, the well meaning massage therapist tried to sell me all these products to help eliminate Water weight.

She weighed 99 lbs soaking wet. What did I expect?

I look forward to having another massage down the road one of these days. :)

Thanks for bringing up the topic. It is a treat and I should try to be kind to myself more than I am. That is a good reward![emoji93]

      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
