I have to be at the hospital by 12:30 today for surgery. I'm excited but not yet nervous. I have read everything I can about what I will feel like post op and feel ready for this next step in my journey! I pray everything goes well!

You're on your pre-op diet, correct? The unfortunate reality is that not everyone loses weight on the pre-op diet, especially if they've had trouble losing weight in the past.
Many people consider bariatric surgery in the first place because they struggle to lose weight and/or keep it off with diet and exercise.
The one thing I'd change about your routine is the exercise. Since you are not really consuming enough calories to fuel a vigorous exercise routine, I'd either reduce the intensity to a leisurely walk or (better yet) cut out the exercise altogether during your pre-op diet.
Here's the issue: some people throw their bodies into starvation mode with a combination of vigorous exercise and not enough calories to properly fuel their workouts. The body holds on for dear life and slows down metabolic processes because it isn't getting what it needs.
Good luck to you.
