A non-scale victory (sort of)

I am a ‘bath’ girl. Pretty much every evening, for an hour, I soak in a tub of hot water and sometes read or do emails or come here to you all, my buddies. I have a gas califont that auto sets - so I just push the ‘bath fill’ button and it gives me 110 litres at 45 degrees - and then the water stops running. Now I noticed two or three weeks ago, it doesn’t feel as luxurious and realised the water isn’t covering my chest and keeping All of me toasty warm.

Weightloss! My bum doesn’t press up against the sides of the bath any more - in fact I can fit my arms between my hips and the bath. So I have upped my bath quantity - by 30 litres. I figure 30kg (65lbs) is about 30 litres. Perfect...

I want your tub.....

That is awesome!

I second this!

That’s wonderful! How long after surgery were you able to take a bath? I’m a bath person too & can’t wait, but I’m only 3 days post op so I know it will be a while!

I can't wait until I can get fully under the water! Your bath sounds amazing

I have had strictly showers for the last 10 years simply because it hurt my knees too much getting in & out of the tub. I'm 4.5 months post op gastric bypass now, and am enjoying nice hot baths at least once a week. The knee pain is gone, and I can fit in the tub comfortably now. An unexpected bonus of having surgery.

When the wound was properly healed all along - I had open surgery and a 7 inch would. Only took about 8 days, and with no bath it felt like 80!
