Not stuck in the tub!



Recommended Posts

I guess this comes under the heading of a NSV! I took a bath this morning for the first time in years. Not only did I get into the tub, more importantly, I got OUT of the tub by turning over onto my hands and knees to get up! I was amazed that I could maneuver my body around like that! Also, my pants are way toooo big!

YAY! I've been fortuntate to have never had trouble getting out of the tub even at 360 pounds..... but I am eagerly awaiting the day when I'm no longer a human dam!

I can relate to having to grease my hips to her in and out if the tub, and to being a human dam as well!

Congrats on your successes!

Haha human dam. I'm two weeks post opt and before surgery when I took a bath I always felt like a human dam. The Water in front of me was always much deeper, than what was behind me. That was until I let the Water out. I have to move to the side to let the back of the dam out. LOL.

I also have to rotate onto my knees and arms to get out. However at this point I have to sit on the edge of the tub and pull myself up to get out. I use to love baths but I hate them now cause it's so hard to get out. I don't have a shower so I go to my aunt's house for showers. Will probably continue until I've lost a lot of weight. I have gotten stuck in the tub where I couldn't pull myself up. I now fear the tub.

isn't it great? i can even flip over onto my stomach in the bath. Not sure why I like to do that so much other than it gives a really nice back stretch... maybe it's just because i CAN? ;)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
