I went for a massage today, first one since 2 weeks before surgery last August.... and i had PLENTY of room on the table!!! Last time I was almost hanging off the table on each side!! It felt amazing to lay there, arms by my side comfortable and not have to worry about falling off!! to be honest the reason i havent had one since before surgery....cause I was totally embarassed that the guy doing it knew i was too heavy for the table!! Not any more!! I'll have to use this as a treat again when I get my next 50 lbs off!! (this was my 100lb treat, just got the nerve up to go!)

Congratulations!!! What a wonderful idea for a reward! I have NEVER had a massage because I couldn't stand the embarrassment of someone seeing me like that. I'm definitely going to consider that, maybe on my vacation in Sept. :-)

Omg that sounds so wonderful. Do getting a message when you have back problems help you out?

Yes, it helps with back pain. I dont have any back issues, my husband has back problems and has massages routinely to help ease the pain. He said it helps him way more than medications do. Try it, I know you'll love it!

Oh I will try it out. Anything to help this back issue. Physical therapy isn't working anymore. I'm so looking toward to the X-ray Monday. According to my physical therapist he said my back bone is bent. So idk lets see what happens but if this massage helps out with pain I will do anything to help me out. Enough with my never ending back issue lmbo

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
