exercise

i was supposed to start exercising last week in prep for the upcoming surgery. i have done a single sit up. i am paralyzed. i hate feeling like there is something the matter with me, but there must be

You can do it!

Are you required to lose a certain amount of weight prior to surgery? 

yes, and i try for a couple of days and go right back to my old ways. i am supposed to have a food journal and i am on and off with that too. i have to lose 10 lbs prior to surgery... but honestly i feel like i have to get all my eating in while i still have the chance. i got really depressed when i thought tonight will be the last turky dinner i will ever have

Not sure if this helps or not but I am in EXACTLY the same place you are. I am supposed to do all these things but for some reason I just don't want to do it.  It is really scaring me that maybe I will not succeed with the surgery. I feel like I fave to eat everything NOW too. 

You can do it, I know I walked the mall for 20 minutes, sit ups might be to much now, can you do a simple one. Even cleaning is exercise.

well, thanksgiving put on 2 pounds, so now i have 12 pounds to lose before surgery. i actually exercised 3 days in a row. tonight we put up our tree and went for our christmas egg nog. i am beginning to notice though how many people are fat. i no longer want to be one of them.

has anyone out there ever feel AFRAID to be happy????
