Exercise What Kind Do You Do?



Recommended Posts

I do lots of different kinds of exercise walking, running, boxing, weights, cross training, stairs as well as having a personal trainer. I am trying to get in 2 sessions a day, one at the gym and intensive, and then another walking (I can walk from work to home about 5kms). I cant imagine going on this whole journey without including exercise. I feel I will have earnt the results at the end. i also find helps with keeping toned while I loose (touch wood very little skin almost half way through).

I do a Zumba class once a week and have been doing it since I was 4 months out. I have added a Pilates video, which I'm hoping will tone my arms and legs, strengthen my core and improve my balance which changed SO MUCH after all the weight loss. I'm thinking about doing the C25K training and I would love to get back on a bike. However, I have this horrible fear of getting on and immediately tipping over. I will have to get a little more confidence before I give my neighbors a big laugh. Also, I want to roller skate again, but see the bike fear above. Sigh.

I have been using my Elliptical now up to 25-40 minutes and I mix it up. I just got Country Dance 2 and used that today, whoa it kicked my "u know what". I am excited for tomorrow :). Hard to believe I would be excited for exercise.

Usually 5 days a week.

      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.

      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!
