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...

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 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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
