Hi all,

I'm redeeming my gift card for the spa I got on Mother's Day for a spa pedicure and a spa manicure. Does anyone know how much tip to give for each service? This is my first time (and the last for a very long time) so I have no idea what is customary. Thanks!

Hi E.L I would say between 10 and 15%, so if your Pedi costs $50 then between $5 - $10 depending how much you liked the service etc. Also if the owner is doing your service you don't tip -- that goes for hair salons also.

Hope that helps!

Hi:

I would tip $10 for each procedure if they do a good job. Have fun. I just had my first pedicure a few weeks ago. It's nice and relaxing and the massage chair was the best part. My toes look pretty.

Have fun.

Thanks for the replies ladies!

I had a really relaxing time. It was a very posh spa, expensive sevices, so I tipped a $20. It was an unusally extravagant gift from my husband for mother's day. I should not count on it happening again anytime soon, especially since the surgery loan payments start this month!

Sounds delightful, and I'm going tomorrow for manicure and pedicure. I love having pretty pink toes.

I was banded one year ago, and just wanted to congratulate you on starting a new, healthier life. I have not an ounce of regret- this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. It will be for you too!

      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.
