And also are you all exercising or just eating right? I am trying to fit exercise in but its hard between work and kids and their sports. lol. If so, what type of exercise do you do, how frequent and how intense?

I do exercise. I typically work out 4-5 days a week. My workout generally consists of about 25-30 minutes on the eliptical and i usually walk 1-2 miles per day no matter what. I need to do better about adding in weight training and situps but those things are very difficult for me. Once you start its hard to stop exercising because its sort of like therapy. I know your busy but make the time for yourself! IT will help with your weight loss and help you lose it in the right places. I also use my fitness pal to track all my exercise and calories. I shoot for 1100 per day and ill admit there are quite a few days where I eat most of my exercise calories. Some day ill probably have to stop that but for now I am pretty active and im losing on average of 3 lbs a week with some weeks worse or better than others :) good luck to you its sure a lifestyle change and a wild roller coaster ride.

I will be honest I have only change my eating habits a little. More so in the beginning. I just eat way less and don't eat out as much. However, I do work out! I haven't been doing as much weight training since I started the C25K program, but did a lot in the beginning (after being cleared to work out of course). But it works for me. I have never seen a gain on the scale. Even days when I was certain I would. I am in no way promoting this as I know I should probably stick closer to the diet, but this is what is working for me.

Personally, I am eating right no junk no refined sugars low carbs I am also working out daily 40-60 minutes of cardio and weight training every other day

      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!
