I would see your doc, for sure. I have joint problems and use Yoga Blocks for push ups and floor exercises. They make a huge difference!

A nutritionist friend of mine said that you should drink about half your weight, in ounces, of water. So, if you weight 200 pounds, you should drink 100oz. of water. I know it sounds excessive, but when I started doing it, I lost about 5 pounds of weight: "water" -weight. Just my two cents :)

I would definitely go for some kind of nut, maybe almonds: high [healthy] fat and protein and you won't need to eat much, and maybe a glass of juice?

I just Nike+ and calculates my calories burned based on my step, my weight and my pace and it off from MFP by about 20-30 calories. I would go with the gym over this one, personally. But, yes, a Heart Rate Monitor would help fill the gap.

I used to live in Belfair and loved walking/running at the Thelar Wetlands! Have fun!

I can relate! I wear TWO sports bras! Good luck with the surgery!
