Questions from a soon to be living donors

Hi All, I am scheduled to donate a kidney to my mother in November. I am curiouse to hear from other living donors how their lives have changed post donation. Have you experienced any negative long term effects? I am a very active individual, weight train 6x a week, run, bike, swim, etc. I am afraid that after donating I may not be able to maintain the same physical regimen (post recovery). I have asked these questions to the surgical team but woud love to hear from other living donors.
