Workout Questions



Recommended Posts

I have two questions or things I would like advise/opinions on.

1. Stationary Bike - I have a dual action stationary bike and I love it. I plan on upgrading someday to a newer bike or an elliptical. However, my issue now is that it hurts my butt so bad! I am good for the first half our and then the pain kicks in. Does anyone have suggestions for seat modifications or aftermarket seats that I can try? There is no way that I am alone in this issue. What has been tried that works? Epic fails?

2. Most times after a workout I do not have time for a shower right away. Does anyone know of a brad of wipe that can clean me up a bit after a hard workout? I have baby wipes and wonder if there is something better or do these work well? Again, what works? What has failed?

Thank you so much for your input. It is really appreciated!

Sorry you're having such pain on the stationary bike - ouch. I had that with me road bike and bike shorts helped; the ones with gell in the seat - and I got the most bell-filled ones I could find!

Wipes - I love the ones called "Yes to Cucumber" which have a nice cleaning effect and a fresh clean scent but it disappears quickly and isn't sweet or flowery. Drug stores and Target carries them.

Keep on spinning!

      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!
