Spurts



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have spurts where they go off and on to the gym because I certainly do I guess it's because I get so busy I don't feel like going! I know I need to go but just can't get myself motivated

I used to be like that, but since my surgery I have been going 3-4 times per week religiously. It's hard, I know but try making a set time to go and stick with it....

On the days that I can't make it to the gym I try to be active in other ways, like taking the stairs vs the elevator or parking far away from the door of the supermarket etc.

They say that once you go to the gym routinely for long enough you get to a point where if you DON'T go you feel lousy. I can't wait to get there lol :P

Who says that? Lol. I've been running for seven years and a regular gym goer and although I would consistently get 3 exercise sessions a week (and more most weeks) I do find real motivation comes in spurts. I try to do three strenght sessions and five cardio - but I dont beat myself up if its two strenght three cardio which is what often happens.

I certainly dont feel lousy if I miss it. I'm always chronically tired and short on energy and it actually makes me feel good! But that certainly wouldnt be true if I didnt go for weeks on end.

      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!
