What are the most effective workout techniques to losing weight? The pounds come off quicker if you're active. I need to be more active.

I'm going to start Rockin Body and do the modified version... I've also been doing Wii Fit and skipping anything with abs

I think I'm going to wait till Tuesday at my 2 week check up to see what doctor recommends me to do besides walking. This is major surgery and you don't want to push yourself. I have days where I'm still tired and days when I feel energized. Just don't need to over do it when feeling energized this early in the game.

I was told no exercising until I was 6 weeks post op. To me, that sounds about right in order to give the body time to heal.

Ok it's officially 7 days since my surgery. My direction is to not go to the next level of foods until 10 days. I feel depressed. I'm so over drinking. I'd like to have some applesauce or pudding or mashed potatoes. I'm having a super difficult time getting in enough calories. :-(. I seen a post where she could move on to the mushy foods by now. I don't know...maybe this is part of the process. Feeling depressed that is. I just want to sleep. I don't have the energy to get out and exercise like I know I should. Just ranting. I'll get over it I'm sure.

I felt that way too! It will get better!

At my one week post op, my doc said that I was cleared to do any exercise except stomach crunches.

I wasnt tired the first week but actually weak. My doc said that it was bc my calorie intake was so low and had changed so fast.

      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!
