i love love love yoga! i tend to bulk up when i exercise at the gym so i started investigating alternative means of exercising and found yoga to be amazing. it took me around 3 months to really see results physically, but emotionally i benefitted right off the bat. forcing myself to calm down and concentrate was great!

pilates hates me. it wants to kill me. i don't heart pilates. LOL. maybe i'll give it another go when i lose more weight!:paranoid

I also absolutely love yoga. I haven't been doing it for long but it makes me feel so calm. It really is a workout too. I have to wear a sweatband. I am becoming more flexible and it also helps with your muscles after a great workout!

Pilates, on the other hand----Definitely not for me at this time. I might try it after I lose much more weight.

Thanks for the feedback on Yoga everyone. I noticed a new Yoga place opened about a mile from my house. Maybe that's a sign!??

      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.

        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.

      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!
