We had a nice break in the weather today! And they had a yearly bike "swap meet" at the local convention center....yep, new ( used ) bike for me today. So was the perfect excuse to go for my first outside ride this year! Still had to dodge some ice covered portions of the trail system, but better than the trainer anyday. :)

And Karen, I so agree with you. I'd much, much rather be outside....riding or running.

It is a GREAT FEELING when, for the first time in long time, you begin to feel a difference....

I first noticed it at an airport, parked a long way from the terminal...and had to walk...I was also pressed for time....

Working out and starting my liquid diet helped. I went in weighing 18 pounds less than a week ago.

Today was a busy day, I was banded this morning at 8:15, and now I'm in a recovery home for the night. I took several walks around the place and drank lots of Water.

Now back to my regularly scheduled visit to La La Land. I go home in the morning.

For three days in a row I have been getting up at 5 a.m. and going 45 min on the treadmill (instead of 30). I really hope to keep this schedule up. I feel good afterwards. My hip joints are kinda sore but hopefully that will go away eventually.

Since being banded on Monday, I haven't been as active as before I'm still kind of sore. But I have been up and about and moving around quite a bit inside the house. It feels like I did 1 billion situps, at least when the medicine is worn off. Next week I will start back at the gym, with light workouts on the treadmill.

Well, sat on my butt for 4 hours this morning in a meeting at my grandson's school. Does that count as exercise? Yesterday I worked in the school media center for 4 hours, and checking in and out books. This is a high scoring STEM school and the media center is very busy. I can't guess how many books i logged in and/ out, but I stood for most of it since it was easier to move them along.

      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!
