I started jogging at 6-8 weeks, after my surgeon cleared me.

I to started about six weeks out from walking and used a couch to 5K app to ease into it. Now I run three times a week and go to the gym three times a week – most days my mileage is about 2 1/2 to 3 miles.

It's been great fun to do a 5K and last month a 5 mile trail run. I don't run four times or competition so much asked to see how I do and to have fun working towards them as a goal.

So I have to say it has been great feeling how good I feel when I run and how good I feel being able to be a runner now. I have to admit I am a slow runner – and for the first six months I called myself a "jogger "because it felt like fall fabric I thing to say I was a runner. I'm over that now, and it doesn't matter if you're mile takes 20 minutes or four minutes – it is still a mile!

Above all take it slowly and listen to your body and get fitted for GOOD running shoes at a running store first!!

      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'. ???

        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!
