Hi!

If there is anyone out there that lives in or near Alexandria, VA and would like to get together to exercise once or twice a week, please let me know! :D I am just staring my 6 month supervised program. However, ANYONE is welcomed, wether you are just starting like me, you are pre-op, or post-op!

I figure it'll be fun to workout together and support each other! :P

**Suggestions welcomed too!!**

:wub:

Simply.torri, I miss home too! I use to live in Arlington, Va, But now I live in Cali and its hard to find workout partners. I work out with my 14 year old daughter. She's my motivation. Hang on there. You'll find someone. Good luck!

I started that program before I decided on WLS so it is just how it worked out...........then I decided in July to move forward as my last year was not successful at all.

I understand. People keep telling me that with my new CPAP machine, the 6 month supervised diet and exercise, i might not need the surgery. But i feel the same... well the last 20 years have been unsuccessful, im not gonna rely on this diet this time, and i am moving forward with the surgery as well.

What is your surgery date? do you have one yet?

Also.... how did you put up your before/after pic? I cant figure it out!!! lol

      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!
