5 days out and treadmilling..



Recommended Posts

It sounds brilliant I know but lol... I did 4 minutes on the slowest speed... it was all I could manage lol. Kills me because I used to be doing a mile a day before the op and at quite a pace. But I'm so determined to work at this., this is my chance and I'm going to grab it with both hands.

Great for you doing so well... I'm jealous. I'm 4 days post-op and am still in pain and have to hold my side when walking.

bbsoft, what is the lowest speed you are doing? Are you inclining at all?

I just got up to 1 MPH for 45 minutes with NO incline.

Of course I can not stand up straight, have to hang on to the handles and have a cold rag on my port site 'cause it is not exactly a comfortable walk.

Oh lordy no.... no incline lol... and it was at the slowest speed the machine does lol... but after that I was done. I couldn't have done more if I wanted to. But I figure slow and sure wins the race!

      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!
