Amen indeed!

Sorry for all the crazy typos. Oops!

Don't worry about the exercise then. There's no way a gym with a pool would fit into my budget either. Like I mentioned, my girlfriend at work started her first 'deal's workouts four months post op, and still did perfectly. It's all about finding out what works for you. Do you realize that most of the heavy, warm clothes in your closet that we needed this past winter you will NEVER wear again?! Excellent! Replacing your entire wardrobe in 4 months sounds crazy, but it's awesome. Even if it's mostly Goodwill cloths I'm wearing! Ive told this story line before, so forgive me if you've heard it , but I was shopping for groceries several weeks ago when I realized my chest had fallen UNDER my bra! Ha! Needless to say, that bra got retired VERY quickly! And you get to shop for bend new underthings since you wouldn't want to find THAT stuff used!

The 2nd! You are so close! Does this almost seem surreal? You are not going to BELIEVE the way you are going to feel in 3 months! If you get a chance to get some exercise plans going prior to surgery, you'll be able to transition back into it a bit more easily afterwards. My office mate did just the opposite, tho, and her method seemed to work fine, too! Ha! She actually GAINED weight during her pre op diet and still did beautifully, reached her goal of 130 pounds at 9 months and is running a mini next month. Wow! You have ALL GOOD THINGS to look forward to!! Best to you!

Human arms shouldn't be consumed until much later in the process :-) the thing that drove me nuts about pre op was that I kept realizing that this is the exact same diet plan I failed at every single time! My only advice is, try to eat foods you truly love rather than the standard crappy grilled chicken breast with steamed mixed veggies and whatnot. It will take a bit more work to find what's appropriate, but there are delicious things out there, too that fit very well into this diet. And just know that this time, you will succeed!
