This is by far the best group I have ever joined. It is hard to discuss weight problems with people that do not have a weight problem. Thanks to all of you

I have had a knee surgery and my knee just hurts, mainly bc I carry 400lbs on it all day. I keep 10lb weights by my couch and just do whatever arm exercises while I watch tv. After a few weeks I have been able to tell a difference. It seems silly at first. But now even my best friend will do it with me.

Your welcome. I was never an exercise person but something inside me click!! And when I started my pre-op diet I started doing the DVD exercise. It was a 3 mile walk and the first time I made it to 1 mile (never told anyone) I felt I was gonna die & wanted to quit. The second day made it to 2 mile & 3rd day yesss! 3mile walk. I was proud of my self. I haven't done the DVD exercise but I now walk 30 mins a day. I work out at the gym for 30-45mins. Now I can't say I love it but I enjoy it & it makes me feel good.

Well I guess I will not tell anymore friends about my plans to have surgery because this was the comment I got. Well I know people that have this surgery and they always blow back up.

they have no idea how there negativity hurts us. although its true some people regain (there's) two of them in my office, but it is also 3 that have done great for over 4 years now. the difference is their eatting habits. the two live on fast food the 3 bring lunch and they walk on breaks. but like you, i will not tell anyone else before my surgery i really can't handle the negativity right now.

Ok, soooo I took mslady's advice and started yesterday doing three reps of ten with the dumb bar, its only 5 pounds, but its a start right ? And today I'm going to repeat it and I'm going to walk for 5 minutes. I know that sounds so lame, but I gotta start somewhere. I hope your all having a good day !!

Never give up ╰☆╮

      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!
