Gym Is Open (Friday)

Jennie, Swimming is great! Are you pre-op or post-op? Lori

I am pre-op. I'm waiting for my date, and it should be for the end of this month or the beginning of Feb. I was called by my surgeon's office this past Wednesday evening to let me know that I had all of my final medical clearance, and that my file was going to scheduling. I was supposed to hear back by the end of Friday for my date, but didn't get a phone call. I will call back on Monday. I request January 30th as my date of choice, but said that anything that week would be good. My main concern right now is that I cannot gain any weight from my surgical consult, which was 12/7 and I am going on a cruise from January 20 - 27. So, I have to make sure to stay on track with eating and such. I've been trying to swim and go to the gym to give myself a few extra pounds of leeway. I'm working hard, and right now, I'm about 4 lbs under where I was at the time of my consult. I was on prednisone right before Christmas and had gained 5 lbs, so now that is off, and I've lost an additional 4 lbs. I'm trying to hit the pool at least 3-4 days per week, and then the gym. I like that you are asking about working out. I guess I should make a new post and post an introduction! Jennie
