Looking for a Workout Partner in Fort Worth



Recommended Posts

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately but I read all post and everyone seems to be doing great... Surgery 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13! ;)

I am loving my new look and life.

I would love to find a work out partner in the Fort Worth area if anyone is interested. I joined Planet Fitness in north side Fort Worth ($10 a month) and think I would have better motivation if I had a friend with the same goals as me to work out with. Call me if interested 817-223-6241.

I'm in the Azle area. I have a gym membership at a small local gym and I'm committed for a year. What area of town are you in?

Not too far at all. I don't think I could meet up on a regular basis but certainly we could meet occasionally to do a work out. My sister had the same surgery 6 weeks before me and she also lives in Azle.

I think it would be nice to meet up n talk if nothing else...I don't know anyone around me who has had the surgery so it would be nice to talk to someone who is going through the same thing...that's cool that u both had it...how is progress for the both of u?

I've lost 110 (95 since surgery) and I think she's right at 95 total lost (she never disclosed exact pre-op numbers). I'm 7 months post-op and she's right at 9 months.

We need to set up a meeting sometime soon.

Ladies, most gyms do allow members to bring the occasional guest. You might consider checking your gyms guest policies and meet up at alternating gyms as policy allows.

I live near downtown FW (Hulen & 30). Had surgery on 6/28. Started at 279 (size 24) and am down to 207 (size 16). My exercising has consisted mostly of walking. I don't know many people in town who have had surgery or otherwise as I am not from Texas.

Tarrant County has several community centers which all have small gyms inside. The cost for a year for a family of up to 6 people is only $40. The only downside is that the hours are limited. The one closest to me is open 7a-7p.

      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!
