Just saying that she said that it is so easy to fall back into the old groove when you get used to it down the road, and that is what she did to keep her on track all the time. She said that after several months to a year had passed, she found herself acting like her old self, so she used that to remind her every day and every week of the fact that she had had surgery to not do that anymore. It took paying attention, even with the surgery, to not go back to old habits.
Don't be upset. You did not waste $20K. It just takes time. If you need us to kick your butt for not drinking water, we can do that. That is the easiest thing you have to do. Now find a water you like, or better yet, get a good filter or filtered pitcher and get to drinking that water because that is a long drive to get to you, the planes are not flying much here right now.
As far as exercise, just find what you can do. I know you were having excruciating pain while walking. Is that still a problem? If so, find what you CAN do. With the weather as it is, can you find a mall or big box store where you can walk inside if you are going to walk?
Just tell us what kind of support you need. If she keeps dropping hints of what helped her do you want them or would it be better not to pass them along?
As always, anything I say is take what you need and bend it to the shape that will help you, or leave it and walk away.
