Telly...am I reading this right.....you "averaged" nearly 18mph over a 35 mile road course?

That is amazing...better than some amateur racers...you must be good...what do you have for a bike?

Yes. It used to take me 2 hours 15 minutes to do the 35 mile trudge. Now It takes me a little under 2 hours and I have 3 kinds of bikes. 1 is a Trek racer (which I used yesterday) - it's a 5k bike - carbon frame

Columbia - Mountain bike, I use often but this one kills me, not as light or as fast - $350.00 bike

Mongoose - Mountain bike, Wal-mart but great bike either way. $259.00 bike

There is another bike that I never use anymore. It was 60.00usd but the kids use that one.

Finally I am able to go to the gym!! My bad foot & infection in my incision are heeled!

I did:

10 minutes on eliptical

20 minutes on bike - lots of hills!

20 minutes on treadmill - worked up to 4 miles with a 5 incline.

It was my first time in years so I hope to keep this up for a while then meet with a trainer.

It's a beast. In fact when I ride it, I take mace just in case someone tries to bike jack me.

Madone SL 5.9 WSD - Retails for $5,499.99 but I got mine cheaper from a local person that was selling everything. I got it for a steal. This is exactly the one I have, the color is different though.

      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!
