The best exercise is the one you'll do and if you do anything regularly and cosistently it will work.

I hate the gym too, I really cant be bothered going through that routine. But I love running and I love bootcamp and I've been really consistent with them and they've worked wonders. Dont feel pressured to go to the gym if its not for you, walking is great if its what you like to do.

So glad you found us. I have found this site to be supportive and friendly. A real sense of belonging.

I would like to hear more about your walking program.

I too hate the gym, however, I will be forced to go since Il live in Minnesota and our winters can be rough.

I will be banded in the next few weeks. See surgeon on the 16th.

Keep in touch.

Hi

Super good luck with your surgery and recovery. Yes, in MN it would be hard to do an outdoor program, but if there were an indoor track somewhere you could do it. The program is by Prevention in a book called "Walk Off Weight". It is an 8 week program building you up with resistance band excercises and stretches, core, upper body, lower body. I am enjoying it. Now I have to go quit the gym!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
