Packed Gym!



Recommended Posts

This morning at 5:30am, went to the gym as I do just about every day for the last few years.....normally, it is the same crowd, every morning doing their routine...and we have all known and recognize each other....

TODAY...THE PARKING LOT WAS PACKED!!!!! At 5:30 am !!!! What the heck is going on???

Then I remembered...it is the first Saturday of 2014....Riggghhhhttt! All the people with their New Year's resolutions to loose weight...get fit..

perhaps got a gym membership as a gift....

Repeat after me.....Diet & Exercise....Diet & Exercise....I hope there are some that will be more successful as I was...been there done that, and I always failed miserably, eventually......I could not stop eating...so I needed WLS to do what I could not do on my own.

There were more Gym Staff there as normal also....big smiles on their faces as they were doing "Private" training....making the big $$...also probably a gift from someone....

Oh well, had to look for an open treadmill to run my 5 miles....not my favorite location....the weight machines were busy also....

Happens every year at this time....I'll give it a month and it will start to dwindle....give it to spring and warmer weather and it will be all back to normal....

I used to work for Jenny Craig and since our salaries were supplemented with commission on food sales this was our favorite few weeks out of the year.

      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!
