It only takes one person, no matter who, to get another one motivated. So, if you do your exercise, regardless of what it is, post it and it will motivate someone else to move it too! :D:D:D

MOVE IT AND LOSE IT :banana :banana :banana

Leatha I am going through the same thing as far as my pulse being too high the last two nights. Tonight, it was in the 80% the first time I checked and the next time it was over the Way over the 90!!!! They made me stop. I really didn't feel like I was that over exerting. I was still talking-I thought that was supposed to be a sign that you are ok. I do not have High BP or anything as serious as a pulmonary embolism(whatever in the hell that is!?) ;-) but I am frustrated. My Curves lady said that it is probably high because I have been under a ton of stress with Steven being out of work. Could that be it? Anywho-she said I needed to go to the dr.

On the LIGHTER side of things----I HAVE LOST 5 ---- COUNT THEM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE POUNDS!!!!!! I had to get off and on the scale three times before I could believe it!!! ;-)

I did 30 minutes on the motel treadmill, then stopped at the outlet mall and bought a new exercise outfit. :D Size Large (Down from XXL) :D Now I will look hot (not sweaty) when I exercise!

It sounds like everyone is doing great! Way to go, Ladies!

I'm back!!!! And I finally met my own challenge!

I have been to the gym every morning for the past 3 days. I have been doing 35 minutes or about 3 miles on the elliptical trainer. Then on Wednesday I did a full lower body weight work out - I am still sore from that one. Yesterday I did a full uper body weight work out (chest/back/shoulders) Today, since I was sore, no weights, but I added another 20 minutes on the stationary bike for 8 miles.

I have to go out of town tomorrow for a conference, and I won't be back home until Wednesday night. I could tell you that I'm going to use the hotel training facilities - but it would be a lie.

I am going to use the spa though - to get a facial and a massage!!

Good going, girlies! Where are the men today? I met my exercise challenge for the whole week, yippee! And today's my 6 month weigh-in, so I'm actually skipping around the office with joy!

Betty, I wouldn't get another port, but we all know how fickle our little bands are. I hear people suddenly lose restriction. I lose restriction, but it seems to come back just in time. I'm on constant alert. If my restriction goes away, people on the 5 Freeway better pull over, cuz I'll be speeding to Tijuana or a new port!

Gosh, I have been walking on the treadmill, I guess I just forgot to post them. :laugh I try to walk everyday, I think I have only missed a couple of days since I have been banded.

      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!
