Any movement to start is better than none! Just lifting your leg as many times as you can off the bed. Bending and straight both your arms and legs, rolling (as far as you can) from side to side, siting/Raising up as far as you can. Anything you can do to move more than you normally do. But I. The beginning it will be about what you eat that is most important. Good luck!
Having support is very important! Melissa is right-YOU ARE WORTH IT! And you can do this!
Thank you. I don't have a pyloric valve so it may not be the best for me. I still have to research more :!

Thank you for the detailed response. I too thought about kick backs for doctors when he said this to me. I appreciate your input.

First, Congratulations on making such a big decision!!! I am so happy and proud of you!
second, some of my best advice (because I was 673) is going to be hard advice.
You are going to NEED a support team someone willing to say no to you when you want to break and someone willing to say you got this when you don't believe you do. Also remember to follow your doctor's advice because he/she knows you and what is best for you and EVERYONE else just has opinions.
Remember it is easier to say no to food at a store than at home/restaurant. You do NOT have to take your leftovers home for later. In the first few years always split meal with someone. I promise your doctor is saying no for a reason and not to just be mean.
THE VERY MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER YOU ARE WORTH ALL THIS!

Do you know when and what procedure your having?
I had to track food and exercise, which helped me stay focused to lose pre-surgery weight. I'm a firm believer of tracking and boosting my mental state of commitment.
Your surgeon should give you a program to follow. It should include diet, exercise, support groups, and pre-surgery medical tests.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
