Imma going to try! My husband is REALLY athletic (mountain bike, rock climbing etc)

So he's usually really encouraging, but I have pins in my hip and get hip pain so he's like "that's to stressful on your hip"

Ahhh, the truth comes out - not only supportive but watching out for you!

Im repeating week 4....and I finally feel completely competent to move on to week 5. Never in a million years could I have imagined running..,under any circumstances(unless I was being chased at gunpoint lol) but I am so proud of myself for challenging myself to do this!

You are an inspiration to those of us just starting out. Keep up the great work!

Hey laura- when are you going to start the c25k instead of laying on the beach. :) All in fun since you said you would rather do a 5 k next the pool instead of on a treadmill in an older thread.

I don't know if I can run.. but want to try, maybe just a little bit at a time! I did download the app and will bring it to the gym when no ones there!!

Cool. That is how we all started : a little at a time. In fact the c25k program is designed to be progressive and you start out with a little until you are comfortable with advancing to the next step.

Well now, that changes the story...pins in your hip, might not be the best thing to go pounding the pavement. Just go slow. The first week is more walking that running. Do what you can, if it hurts stop. Use a safeword or something....

Lol "safe word" whatda you have in mind??

I was only going try running a bit!

It's funny my hip started hurting bad after I started losing the weight. It hadn't bothered me in years 0_o

But it's starting to feel a little better now..:)

      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!
