New Years Resolutions



Recommended Posts

So now that Christmas is over everyone is buzzing about making New Years resolutions....and it's all the same...lose weight, exercise, drink more water.....

Well for the first time in my life I am NOT making a resolution to lose weight or exercise! I have those tools already in place!! I can start the new year off with plans to increase my exercise time, stay true to my plan to lose what I need to for my goal. It feels so wonderful to be almost 80lbs down and not have to hear myself make those promises that I never kept past the first week of each year.

This years resolutions will include:

more activities with my family...that I can participate in since I can actually move around more!!

Both myself and my daughter will be going to Zumba classes, learning Yoga (Already signed us up...starts Jan 7th)

Pampering myself more (Nails, toes, hair) since I never thought I was worth the effort before....now I know that the healthier I am ...they healhier my family is

So much to look forward to ..... It really will be a Happy New Year!

Since I'm kinda just staring out mine is exercise. I'm struggling with that piece.

We all had to start.... I had exercised NONE prior to having my surgery (well, other than the occassional start of a new diet routine) So hang in there...it'll be part of your routine before you know it...and it really helps the pounds drop off!!

I struggle some mornings when it's cold....and I dont wanna get out of bed.... but I wanna get to my goal more than stay in bed...so I 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.

      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!
