Question: I am graduating with my masters in december and for graduation my parents are going to get me some exercise equipment since there isn't a gym with childcare around my house. I have an elliptical but I need something else that I can work out on. I was thinking a bike... Also any suggestions for weight lifting? I'm only a little over 4 weeks out so I can't do anything right now and I am not strong to start off with. I want to focus on my arms and abs.

Congratz on earning your masters!!!!! Way to go!!!

Exercise equipment...Hmmm...that's a good question. I guess it depends on what you think you would enjoy working out on. I really don't like working out at home...guess cuz I've been a stay at home mom for so long that I NEED to get out LOL! But...I LOVE riding my bike, so you may enjoy a stationary bike. I don't know how many children you have or how old, but if you only have one or two and their small, you COULD get a comfort bike (I have a raliegh and love it) and a kiddie trailer. Kids LOVE IT! Would they spring for a Bow Flex? That would REALLY work your arms and abs!! Just some thoughts.

Well, I changed my goal...I've been afraid to change if for fear of not reaching it, but afraid NOT to change it for fear of giving myself an "out" on exercise once I reach my goal. Funny how my mind works! But, I've changed it and will do my best to reach it!

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
