I don't waddle like a duck anymore when I walk



Recommended Posts

As I was walking in the parking lot of my office building. I noticed my shadow. I love looking at my shadow because it outlines my progress. The other day, I noticed there's been a change in the way I walk. I no longer waddle when I walk. As I run towards my weight-loss goal. It helps to see that I have made changes. I still have to be careful not to run into park cars as I look down. My legs are looking longer and stronger here's to the future. I'm learning how to work this sleeved life! ????????????????

My body's automatic changes in how I move -- and my own conscious efforts to change how I move and how I hold my body (standing straighter, shoulders back, tits out, moving forward not side to side, holding my legs in closer, not out, not leaning on walls, head straight up, eyes forward, not down, etc.) has made a big difference in how I feel and how I present myself to others.

When I weighed so much more it was hard enough just to move to get somewhere and then to slouch or collapse as soon as I got there -- whether it was across the room or across a parking lot.

There's so much to this journey. So much!

I love this topic! Lol...I was thinking the other day that I need to learn a better walk...it didn't occur to me that it may just unveil itself along with the rest of my body!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
