Got an early b-day present!!

My birthday isn't until March 24th but I went out this weekend and bought some bike shoes as a present. Tried them out spinning today and had a blast! Joints have been doing great.. probably because I am only getting into the gym 4 days a week instead of 5 - 6. I keep doing a combo of cardio and weights last 60 - 75 minutes for the total workout. Eating is ...well.. ermm.. ok confession.. HORRID!! We have been going out a ton. Seems like everynight. I think Dana is more in last meal mode then me. He brought junk food home a couple times and justified it as last time I will eat so much of X food.. yesterday was a giant black and white cookie. This morning it was bagels. Stuff I wouldn't even eat normally. I told him (and myself) tonight we need to chill out on the junk. Tuesday I get to see my new surgeon for the consult and pre-op chat. I'm very excited. I am a little nervous about the inital post op tests. His are so comprehesive. EGD, abdominal US, etc. Im hoping he isnt going to make me do a sleep study also. I'm dreading the EGD. What pre-op testing did you have to do?

Stacy, I am glad your joints are feeling better. I think that 4 days a week is plenty of cardio.v I think 5-6 was too much. Dont worry about the eating, it will take care of itself after the surgery. Good Luck

Thanks John =) I just know I've put on a few more pounds lately and it is really making me feel uncomfortable. If I could just loose a few lbs or remain stable it would be nice. I will talk to the surgeon about it on Tuesday. Maybe he can give me a good pre-op diet to help me jump start my progress. Less than 6 weeks to go!!!

Glad the joints are better, sounds like you are settling into a workout schedule that fits you. Pre op tests for me, you can read in my profile but I think it was, Ultra sound, EKG (No stress), blood, lung volume, urine, I think that was it.
