The Perfect "ME" Day!



Recommended Posts

In an effort to get my mind off of being hungry (on liquid pre op diet-day 8) and the anxiety of my upcoming surgery (Feb 7th) I thought I would treat myself to a ME day! Hour massage and facial was just what I needed to "check out" of my head for a few hours! Feeling relaxed and happy right now!

What things do you do to try and shut your brain down from the process?

Sounds good to me...my husband's christmas present was a spa day so now that I finally know my surgery, I can book my pre-op spa day LOL

Good luck =)

I did the same thing. 1 hour deep tissue massage and a pedicure and eyebrow wax. Loved it!

I have 90 minute deep tissue massage scheduled on Friday, looking forward to it.

90 minutes! Man, my guy beats the crap out of me in 60 minutes (strong 21 year old with good arms). I had one on Sunday and I'm still hurting today! If I had 90 minutes I'd be in traction! Enjoy Terry!!!

Which is why I don't have a male therapist!

Excellent point. I guess you've got Mistress Band and I've got the Masochistic Masseuse! But even my therapist gets a massage at the salon he works at and he has it done by this woman (Mary). He told me when she got a hold of him and started in on one of his arms he dropped the F bomb! Either way, enjoy. If I had a need (and could afford it) I would go for massages weekly. But once a month is better than nothing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
