so today, after i got home from work, i did my step aerobics DVD....and it felt good......and then i went outside and chatted on the phone with amanda and hub came out to cut grass.....i hung up the phone and told hub i wanted to cut grass...so he gave me the lawn mower and up and down and up and down

i went........so yeah i was wearing blue flip flops but i spent 20 min cutting the side of our house.....while hub sat in the chair and watched

who would have thunk that a year post op that my 336 pound body would do a step aerobic class AND cut grass with lawn mower on the same day within an hour of each other..

this post is to say, the band WORKS

Great NSV but next time wear proper footwear, please. The risk to your feet when mowing is really large and getting hurt would slow your brilliant progress right down. (Sorry, I work in OHS, couldn't help myself.)

UPDATE:

well, let me say that me moving and pulling and using my upper arms to move that little red lawn mower has made my arms (sore) and that is a good thing..sorry i posted another silly success (i mean who cant mow their lawn) but that would be ME who couldnt...so yeah, i wanted to share.

thanks for the great responses.

i think all yall are terrific.

I like ALL of the "silly successes". These are things most of us totally get, and it's good to take notice of the little things......that aren't really "little".

This is silly, but I'm sure many can relate.... At my client's office, I sit in a Herman Miller chair. The arms move in and out, and as soon as I sit down, I've always had to push the arms outward......to accommodate my wideness. Yesterday when I was there, I noticed as I was leaving, that I hadn't moved the arms out. I looked back at the chair & thought...WOW. I would always move the arms back into their normal position, because I was humiliated that I couldn't fit comfortably with the arms going straight forward. A small thing, but certainly a victory :)

CG - keep'em coming! I love these things :rolleyes:

      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!
