Yes I knew before. I was overly hungry to the point where I felt like I never felt full. I also feel ovulation a lot more, but that started happening after a miscarriage I had in 2015. I was a lot more queasy in the beginning of this pregnancy than I was with my daughter. I didn't have morning sickness at all with her.

I'd recommend some sort of structured work out. Taking a fitness class with an instructor will always push you more than you can push yourself.

All of the apps and none of the plans are worth a damn if you have no motivation. And no one can give you motivation unless you have a goal. And being lazy is a choice not a condition. The best advice I can give anyone is focus on why you had the surgery in the first place.
Did you do it because you want to be healthier? If so, then eating right is not a matter of finding what taste good or what you enjoy; rather it is a matter of finding what foods give you the nutrients you need to be healthy. Your workout regimen should focus heart and respiratory improvement.
Did you do it because you want to have more confidence and attract a significant other? The focus on body shaping.
Did you do you because you want to be more active in your hobbies? Then focus on a routine that improves your performance. Kayaking? Hit the rowing machine. Hiking? Elliptical or treadmill. Rock climbing? Pull ups, shoulder work and etc...
Find a goal and work towards it. You won't find inspiration or motivation in an app or YouTube video.

Google "7 minute workout" or get one of the free apps that do it, it's a quick bodyweight workout that will get you moving.
If you want to go to an actual gym, see if there's a Planet Fitness near you. They're cheap - $10/month. Also they have a great section for their "Circuit training program". It's 10 machines that work all major muscle groups. There's a light that turns green for 1 minute and red for 30 seconds. When it's green you work out on one machine. When it's red you stop and move to the next one. They also have steppers there to do some cardio between every machine. If you follow it exactly you'll do a 30 minute workout that includes 10 minutes of cardio and 10 minutes of weight training.
If you want to mix things up every day, try the playing card workout - http://lifehacker.com/5849412/wednesday-deck-of-cards-workout
Lifehacker also has a full workout routine if you want to try to commit to a regular sustained workout: http://lifehacker.com/5849409/the-lifehacker-workout-exercise-for-normal-people

Good luck!

Try "tone it up " YouTube videos. They have great workout plans

Fitstar is a personal trainer app that is customized to you

I use an app called Fitness 22. They have several free training plans that I think would help.
I get bored at the gym easily, so I am always looking for plans so I know what I am doing going in and don't get sidetracked.

After calling them back, I was told that I can be put on a waiting list to help with time. I am bummed and extremely disappointed. I feel as if I am being given the run around.
Hopefully this go by quickly.

I agree with akaleela. Call your ins. Co. (or go online to their website and search) & have them recommend a sleep study. Funny, I felt the same way, but once approved -, I wasn't really as in a hurry as before. It a tough road ahead, and although you are ready to start, take this extra time as a blessing in disguise. You need the sleep study, it is important. If you feel you dont and your surgery center for whatever reason being unreasonable, you can also change the surgery center usually w/o insurance problems (I did). i recommend embracing this time by practicing some of the things you will be doing post-op and even perhaps practicing the pre-op diet. For example, Many have failed or cheated on just the pre-op alone. The first time I tried, I was miserable. The second time, It was much much easier as I saw how it felt and had a better understanding by getting tips appropriately taylored to my body's needs and quirks via research. Trying to prepare what you will REALLY drink the two weeks after surgery (testing all those Soups, shakes etc..) We are all different, but that's just of course my personal perspective and experience. Either way- I wish you the best and know that you will be starting your new life of health soon enough!

Oh! Forgot to mention, I did my sleep study at home - with a take home machine ( ins paid) from my primary care doctor, so check there as well
