First Day Of Real Exercise .....



Recommended Posts

Today is six weeks post op and I've got the sweat pants and tank top on, and brought in and dusted off the glider and weights .....lol! Just finished a little stretching app on my phone then jumped on the glider and after five minutes I thought I was going to die! I have never exercised before in my life so I knew it was going to be pathetic.....but wow! Are there others out there that feel kinda pathetic? Lol. When you guys started out at first how long did you exercise for?

Aww your cute. I exercise off/on so I know how you feel when you don't do it for long & start all over again.

I was pathetic too. I'm 3 weeks post op so I've just been walking. I'm up to a mile and a half in 30 minutes. I decided every week I'm going to push myself a little further. I'm down 36 pounds.

If u wanna feel REAL pathetic try Zumba fitness rush. I do it on my daughters Xbox connect and I'm drenched in sweat in 5 mins. Lol. It is very intense. I do that for a 1/2 hour on the days I can't get out and walk. Sometimes I do the stationary bike for a 1/2 hour. I like to mix things up

Tell me about this zumba. I see it on TV & it looks so good & so fast & sweety... Have you seen the commercial on the Shawn T (I think that's how it's spell) it looks so good for the stomach. You know since I'm not rich & it's hard to save alot of money with 3 kids. I was thinking if I buy this DVD maybe my tummy will be super flat & so the rest of my body so I won't need plastic surgery? What you think?

Its most definitely a total body workout. Its more like Latin dancing. I have a friend taking a zumba class at a gym and she's lost 20 lbs and 12 inches in 2 1/2 months. No surgery. It is very intense. If your kids have a video gaming system u can buy the game. Which is the same as the DVDs but it tracks your progress too. They make it for the wii also.

Oh my gosh I remember 2 tomes in my life in the last 8 years that this happened. I actually cried both times. I was hurting, sad, angry and embarrassed at how far I'd let myself go.

      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!
