in the bathtub!!!! I am a shower girll, but after my workout today I thought I would soak for a while first. I couldnt believe it.....not only did I fit, but I could put my arms down by my sides and still had room. I dont know anyone else who might understand other than you guys! Before, basically, the water behind my hips stayed there until I got up. The front part could drain completely and then I would move and the back of the tub would drain. I am absolutley estatic. Who knew a bath could mean so much!!

Yep---i can relate. Took my first one in 10 years on Thanksgiving Day. Didn't need to call 911 to pry me out. My exit wasn't pretty but it was uneventful!!!!

Congrats!! It's wonderful to soak yourself silly!!

That is the best feeling!! I bet it was the most exciting bath ever!!! Get a rubber sucky and date it! It will remind you every time you look at it!

I am still in my low 300's and I take baths more than showers, just because I can now. But I was so fat before that I lost the ability to shower or bathe myself. A bit different situation, but the fact that I can get in and out of the tub on my own is always a party for me.

I am alone in my bath and need no help....in this case....

I love being a "loner"!

Yes, we understand for sure!

This board really makes me have compassion for others...

Wow... your post made me tear up. This new life must truly be amazing for you. I couldn't imagine. I thought my struggles with weight were something but when you go from being completely dependent on people for things like bathing to being able to FIT in a bath tub... oh my goodness! I had issues reaching to clean some spots but with some specials gymnastics I always was always able to accomplish the task. I haven't been able to fit in a tub in lord knows how long. I won't even try for at least another 50 pounds. I won't try a booth either! Eek!

My "first" bath was amazing. I think i took a bath every day for a month just because I could. I even went and bought candles and bubble bath just to enjoy the occassion. Now I moved and my tub sucks and is super shallow and I don't bother, and I miss it!

I can so relate. I took my first tub bath in almost a year last weekend. My problem wasn't so much that I didn't fit (I have a garden tub), but that with my weight and arthritis combined, I couldn't get out easily at all.

I had my DH there for help, but I didn't need him at all. I got out all by myself
