Hi I just joined this site today and love reading this post. I'm 7 weeks postop. I'm doing very well. I think and on the soft diet. Looking forward to exploring other foods next week. I've lost 30lbs so far, but i struggle with getting the exercise in. I want to do Water aerobics because walking hurts my plantar fascitis so I'm concerned that I don't do the 30 min a day so I'm super diligent to get all of my food and drinks in. Any advice about other exercises I could try?
