My Biggest NSV



Recommended Posts

I ran a mile without stopping...and I could have gone for longer!!!

It felt like it has taken me forever to get to this point. I am really happy because I have never ever been able to run a mile.

My heart health has improved dramatically and that is the greatest gift I can give myself.

That's awesome! I know just what you mean because I've been working up to doing more running and it's just an amazing feeling to realize how far I've come. Keep up the good work.

You are amazing! That is a fantastic NSV. So when is the first 5K going to happen???

You should be very proud. It's quite a gift you've given yourself.

I was planning on doing a 5k in November (this month) but I have to be out of town for work over the weekend of the event.

Anyway, I will set an official date for my 5 k, maybe when it gets warmer.

I have been having some exercise-induced asthma from running, which is something that's never happened to me before and is kinda scary.

That's awesome!! I can't even imagine running (unless it's from a big dog or to a sale, LOL) but I think it would be such a liberating feeling! Funny how even our thoughts towards some things change as we start to make a commitment to this new lifestyle! Way to go!!!

      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!
