Excited for the gym!



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would ever say this, but I am excited to join the gym this morning!! I am just over 3 weeks post op and down over 25 pounds just cleared to start using the treadmill. I haven't looked forward to exercise in years.

I am joining with just a monthly membership because I prefer to exercise outside once it thaws (which will probably be May here ;) ). My hubby is joining with me which is fabulous! My weight loss is spurring him to be healthier also. WLS is impacting my entire family in a very positive way!

That is awesome! I remember that feeling very clearly! Are you doing anything specific like couch to 5k? That helped to get me started. Good luck!

Good for you!! I was back in the gym two weeks after surgery on the treadmill and it really felt good I have to say. :)

My whole family belongs to our gym here. I love that my husband and 15yr old daughter are so supportive with my workouts. I know for me I need that. Keeps me motivated. I have even been going to zumba classes our gym offers, the instructor is so fun and nice. Now don't get me wrong I have to modify the moves big time. but I am moving the whole time. This weds though I made it thru the whole class. WOO HOO!!

My surgery has made a difference in my family too. They don't have a weight problem but they are eating healthier and we are exercising more together as a family.

I love that I am not a bystander anymore to my life! And so does my daughter!!!

Go get em!! You got this girl!!!

Today was my 3rd workout and I am really enjoying it! I have dropped 5 pounds in 3 days and I will take that any day. I am also sleeping better at night which hasn't happened in years! I also found out my gym has an aqua massage table and that is definitely going to have to be tried. If I like it I can pay $25/ month for unlimited access to it. The gym lady says I could even use it 3 times a day if I want to and if it isn't booked.

      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!
