Gym Question



Recommended Posts

I LOVE Water aerobics, the water makes me feel good and it is easier to jump around and do the exersise. Bad knees prevent me from doing Zumba. I am starting with a trainer now, I want to work out as effectively as I can. Good luck,

M-make short term goals

O-out with the negative thoughts

T-think of why you want it

I-imagine how you will feel

V-visualize the future you

A-acknowledge your successes

T-treat yourself with respect

I-investigate new ideas and foods

O-observe your healthy lifestyle

N-never give up and never give in

I took Water aerobics for years and I never saw anyone in there with a perfect bathing suit body. Actually it was the opposite because most of the participants were very obese. This is the one thing anyone at any weight can do because you can move to deep end and have no impact on your joints or shallow end with very light impact. You can use the water resistance or use water weights and you can get a great workout in the water. The gym can be intimidating when it comes to our bodies but trust me people are in their own zone and rarely notice people around them. Don't worry about your body and just take the class. This journey is about letting go of excuses, getting out of your comfort zone, and taking care of yourself for a change. Throw on your swimsuit and whatever cover up you feel you need (t shirt, short, etc) and get to that class. You will be surprised at how GREAT you feel after.

      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!
