Tammyeb 5 Posted September 28, 2016 I am going through the same pre op thing...my surgery is November 30th and I've told myself I will start exercising more and that hasn't happened. The thing that helped me increase my activity is I bought a Fitbit the other day and I keep looking at it to see how many steps I've taken and how many calories I've burned. It isn't magical, just like the surgery, but I feel more in tune with myself and more accountable. I've gained weight lately and found that I've given myself a 'free pass' because I'm having surgery. Well, no more of that! It is truly One Day At A Time with this stuff! So hard but we can do it. I actually used the steps today at work instead of the elevator! Victory! Good luck to you and let us know how you're doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
