Treadmill with some eliptical. I try to exercise 4 days a week but sometimes 5. Since I do that I realize more if the choices of what I eat because I think of how long it would take me to burn those calories. It has also helped with dealing with anger, stress, and sometimes depression when it comes to life and relationship with food! Good luck!

I hate exercise. I have a Mifit band that tracks my walking and tells me how many calories I've burned. I just keep increasing my steps per day. I love that it takes into account the normal walking I do around the house or shopping etc. I've lost 43lbs so far at 9 weeks out and even stalled for 2 of those weeks. as long as I'm losing i'm not going to think about any other form of exercise. good luck!

I am going back to playing tennis on Monday which is my 3 week anniversary. Dr. said I could resume playing when my drain insertion hole was fully closed at 3-4 weeks. For me, someting social, fun and competitive is more fun. I play 3 times a week. I also walk my English Bulldog 1/2 hour a day in the evening. Here in Arizona it is so hot it is hard to get much exercise outdoors this time of year.

I LOVE zumba! I bought one of the zumba games for the wii and do it at home at least 40 minutes a day. My goal is to incorporate a 30 minute walk into my schedule before work as well, but I haven't been able to get up that early so far this week :P

Too hot in Arizona is right, I love here too! Inside exercise only status point!

I go to the gym 4-5 times a week for 90 minutes of treadmill, nu-step, and recumbent bicycle exercise. I will start weight training next week (6 weeks out). I go to a cardiac rehab gym that has a bariatric program and they keep track of your BP, HR, etc while you exercise. I'll be 65 soon so I appreciate the extra care. It only costs $15 a month so it's a bargain! On the days I don't go, I use an old "walk away the pounds" CD. This has really helped me start moving again. Before surgery just the time it took to stand and take a shower caused excruciating back pain. Since losing 40 lbs (yay!) I have no back pain at all!

      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.

        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!
