Excercise
I go to Shapes on 56th street in Temple Terrace and there is a trainer there, named Sandy, that does these AWESOME water classes--she knows about the surgery and knows how to do low impact and still lose weight. I am pre-op but still work with her because of previous back surgeries, and she has helped me to lose 14 inches so far! She has personal classes that cost $72 for 6 weeks or you can attend her free classes M-Th. Good luck!
