Can I see before and after pictures of all my peeps that turned into gym rats after surgery?

I am not a gym rat, so to speak, but I do exercise a lot. I do functional and traditional strength training several times per week, along with running, other assorted cardio, HIIT, and yoga.

Before pics: 6/21/2020

Surgery date: 7/6/2020

After pics: 2/26/2021

Not a gym rat, but I do ride huntseat and jump horses again. I mountainbike with my dog and have an ever increasing step goal every day. So yep, I've gotten bitten by the exercise fitness bug even though I'm not much of a gym person. Have been known to dabble in and enjoy circuit training and Water areobics, and I do have an eliptical I use quite a bit at home now. Does that count? I don't think I'm the gym rat type, but I do seem to be drawn more and more to exercise. But only stuff I enjoy, and only stuff that provides relief from stress. The gym itself...expecially with Covid...stresses me out.

      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!
