Good for you! Exercising is so important in this process and it is great that you are developing your habit before surgery. Keep it up.

I been doing the same thing I started in Feb 2013 first I started just walking now I'm doing like DVDs but I'm in a lot if pain , my knees and ankle are a hot mess ... I thought since I've drop 37lbs my knees wouldn't hurt as much but they seem to be getting worse ... So I can't really advance !!! I applaud you keep up the good work it's only going to be better for you after surgery !!
