WHAT DID I DO !!!
Mel, I had my surgery April 19th and I just went back to work last week on a reduced schedule. I am going to physical therapy 3 x a week. I asked myself the same question up until a week ago. All of a sudden it just began to kick in and I am starting to regain my energy and actually starting to feel better. For the first 2 months after surgery, I could hardly get out of my lounge chair. I was sick most of the time and couldn't really tolerate any food. I was so sick I didn't care about weight loss I just wanted to feel better. It took a long time but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I thought I was doomed forever. Hang in there and keep me posted on your progress.
