Preparing for & Recovering after Major Surgery

As someone who has long term weight loss/fitness goals and who is also preparing for a major surgery, I'd like to offer a supportive and encouraging space for others in a similar situation, or who have been through this before and may have some guidance or ideas to share.

I am attempting to lose weight and get into the best shape I can before the surgery in 8 weeks in order to have a more successful outcome and recovery afterward. I am also hoping to get back on my fitness plan as soon as I can after recovery in order to achieve my long term goals.

If this sounds like it may be a helpful topic to discuss, or if you have some wisdom to share, please join!
