Are you new to exercise or were you working out before surgery? The easiest thing to do for exercise is walking. I know that you talked about a toning routine but you need to be doing cardio also. Do you belong to a gym? Once you start doing cardio eventually you can start adding weights to your workout. Start out slow. If you belong to a gym you can ask someone that works there where to start. If not, you can look online for different routines or even purchase a video.

Just remember, you can't spot reduce. Cardio and weights are the way to go.

Yes I've been working out for a long time! I just think I need to kick it up a notch to tone! I was thinking about kettle bells!!!

Kettle bells are an excellent way to tone your body! I highly recommend them as long as you are doing them with a trained instructor or have been trained how to use them the correct way! Also I would start out with a light weight since you are not very far out from surgery.

Just the other day I was on YouTube looking up kettle bell routines. There are some great ones on there and some awful ones.

Yes kettlebells YES! Start with Ryan, he can probably help you find someone legit in your area to help with training, if you are so inclined. http://rjkettlebell.com/ I can't sing his praises enough, and I am super picky when it comes to trainers. Like annoyingly so. :) Have fun!

      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!
