Hello: Thank you all for you kind words of encouragement.
Unfortunately, at my pre-op meeting today, my surgeon postponed my surgery for 2 months. I'm very disappointed and sad. I'm also angry at myself because it's my fault that I haven't been consistent with the exercise and he's a real stickler for it.
However, I went an immediately joined 24 Hour Fitness and I have 2 sessions with a personal trainer. I'll be working out 5 days a week until I see the surgeon again in 2 months! Wish me luck.
Take care and I'll keep you posted.
Julia
