Last minute jitters?

If this trainer is trying to sell some diet to you (something you have to pay for) then not only would I discontinue his services but would inform the managment of the gym. My guess is they don't know he is setting up his own side business using their customers.

Slightly off topic. I go swimming an hour a day/7 days a week. I'm really not into classes of any kind. Too much like high school and I always feel uncomfortable because as the fat chick I could'nt keep up. While the Water aerobics class at my gym are made of of people of all body types and ages; still not my thing. I also like to work out to music (water proof MP3 player is the best thing in the world), and the classes don't use music. Most of the instructors for these classes really try to push me into taking their classes. While they are part of my membership (so free) I just don't want to do them. I think however they may get paid by how many people take the class (or are afraid low attendance will mean the class is cancelled and I think they are contractors). Kind of irritates me because I want to go swimming and not get nudged about joining these classes. Sorry just venting.

Rachel,

You're doing the right things and asking the right questions. You're knowledge and information base is already deeper than mine was at your stage. You are setting yourself up for success! Good luck and stay focused.

Honk, vent on my sister!

Brad, thanks again for your advice and support! I feel like I still don't know everthing that I need to know, but I know part of the journey is post-surgery.

I am still nervous about the eating portion and PBing.

Now that I know that I can keep my energy levels up with Protein, I feel confident that the work out portion will not as much of an issue as i thought it might be.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
