exercise question

[gmacarroll]

So, a couple months ago I found out I have a benign ovarian tumor growing on my ovary :S This makes any intense exercise really hard for me to do (the pain it causes is horrible). I'm getting it out at the end of April, but I was wondering if there was any low impact exercises that would be good for me to do, yet still allow me to loose weight. I'm also asking because I have really bad cardio, and i'm afraid if I go into surgery with horrible cardio (my heart races going up stairs :S) something bad could happen. Any exercises out there that would be good for cardio, but not have me jumping around all over the place? (I can't think of any....)

Thanks!

Methinks these could be useful:
- swimming
- elliptical trainers/cross trainers
- walking
- possibly step aerobics

You probably do all these things already so its basically doing what you already do but at a much lower speed so its more gentle on your body. I hope this sort of helps!
