WOW, you lost a real lot of weight, congrats! As far as the gym, maybe start slow and work up the time. I know I was doing about 45-60 minutes and over the summer, I almost never went. Now I am just about 30 minutes. But 30 is better than 0. Also, while at home I try to move around a lot and bend my knees, try to kick my ass.

Good luck. Just don't over do it or you won't do anything.

I work out with a cousin and it's that mutual benefit equation -- doing it for and with another person gets me there. But now I'm trying to do the solo stuff, too, as add-on exercise. Walking down the road, etc. That is harder -- oh the head games! When I exercise I feel so good but I'm never exactly wanting to get on that treadmill, etc. Have to force myself. Want to change that up now and like it from the get-go and have the wanting to do it.

Even a jump rope at home is bette than nothing. I work out alone, but I jam out while working out. I feel great afterwards. Slowly adding exercise in your daily routine even for 10-20 minutes will have you feeling better.

my dog makes me walk once a day. i have 2.5 acres and i started walking with him after meals. it became a must to him. so even if i am taking a nap he will nudge me and bark at me telling me we haven't gone for a walk yet. it was funny tonight. with the sun going down so early i just got on the treadmill. he came into the room, now i am talking about a 115 lb. german shepard , he tried to get on the treadmill with me. he wanted to walk with mommy. do simple things to exercise. you will more than likely keep that up than a regimen that you don't look forward in doing. good luck

      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.

        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!
