I have been walking everyday for a hour. And I feel so much better. I think pushing myself helps me. I''m going to the beach next week and I can't wait to walk on the beach. I think if you set small goals for yourself it will help you in your exercise goals.

I'm worried about this week too. I am in Texas visiting family today and tomorrow, so I'm going to miss my workout class (I do circuit training 3x/week at Lifetime Fitness M/W/F). I'm almost addicted to the class now, so it hard for me to miss it.

This week is going to be a real challenge. My SIL is having gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday so we will be hanging around the hospital for a couple of days. I guess I will be walking the halls. Gotta try to find a Curves in the town where the hospital is. I'm still going to try to do at least 30 minutes every day.

Monday - Curves Workout

Tuesday- ?? but something

Wednesday Curves workout

Thursday -Walking 45 minutes

Friday - Curves Workout

Saturday - Curves Workout - official monthly weigh in.

I finally made up my mind today to go walking. I have ridden my stationary exercise bike a couple of times since surgery and walked around the backyard with the dog, but that's about it. There is a park near me with a walking track, so I hauled the kids and the dog over there with me. I made it around the track twice. It circles around 4 softball fields, but not sure exactly how long it is. It took me around 30 minutes. :blushing:

I walked 2 miles Saturday and did it again last night! Here is my plan for the week. I'm not released to do much more than walk, and we have a really busy week, but I think 3 days are do-able and a good "starting out" goal:

Monday - 2 miles

Tuesday - will walk 2 miles

Wednesday - my daughters have dress rehearsal for a dance competition, no walking

Thursday - will walk 2 miles

Friday - going out of town...maybe walk in the morning?

I walked on the track again today. My oldest daughter is home for spring break and she went with me! We made it around the track twice in a little less than 30 minutes.

I haven't been able to walk at the walking track yesterday or today. I have heel spurs and they really hurt from those 2 days straight of walking around that concrete track. I decided to rest for 2 days, at least from walking. I'll do 20 minutes on the exercise bike tonight.

      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!
