buying multiple exercise dvd's and not doing a single one of them. Boy, do I need energy and motivation!
start slow.. the energy will come. Start at 5-10 minutes what ever you can do and then increase a bit every day. You will find you respond quickly. When I started at the gym I could not do 3 minutes on the elliptical. Now I have fantastic endurance. Find something you like to do. I started yoga and while I can not say I am good at it, I do love it. Slowly my flexibility is improving. When I had my surgery I could not walk to my mail box without thinking I was going to die! Getting out of the sofa was a strain on my knees. Now I am at the gym 5-6 days a week and loving it. If you had told me that back in August I would have laughed myself silly!! Good luck, honestly if I can do it any one can!!

thanks DIane! I walked for 19 minutes on the treadmill this evening and did 4 squats with the perfect pull-up bar.

I am proud of you!!!!!! Now remember tomorrow just tell your self you are going to move your body again! By the way I can not do a pull up or push up to save my life! I gave up on the pull up and keep trying to do the push up but my upper body strength still stinks! I will keep plugging if you do too!!!:drool:

Maybe exercise DVDs aren't the right exercise for you. I find them pretty boring myself....

I walk or ride a stationary bike. I read a good book at the same time. It makes the time fly by, but I also only do "fat burning" level of exercise only. Maybe later when I get slowly into better shape, I will kick it up to full cardio training.

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
