Pre-diet and exercise
Aug 31, 2009
Four days after the multi-team meeting....I had purchased the protein mix and other recommended supplies right after the multi-team meeting, and I've starting the pre-surgery lower calorie diet, more or less to start getting use to it. I'm thinking my surgery date is going to be in seven or eight weeks... I haven't been notified of it yet. I've started on my daily walking routine.... actually I doing more than 30 minutes daily. I even cleaned the boxes off the treadmill and used it for 30 minutes (three 10 minute sessions) on the day it was pouring outside. I feel motivation!!! I've started these routines so many times before and simply lost interest in them or motivation in them cause the results were so slim... not me being slim by any means. But with the pending surgery.... I'm feeling motivated. I can do this. Also I have a work friend who is three weeks out now... and I had a conversation with her today and I'm feeling more relaxed with the whole event. But deep down.... I'm still scared to death!
They told me I won't be able to continue on celebrex once I have the operation... I think even two weeks prior to the operation. I'll have to call and check on that. So.... I'm tapering off them.... taking one every other day presently. So far I'm not feeling any difference in my knee problem or any of the numerous aches and pains that I live with daily.... more than likely because of the weight.
