Hello all!

I had a major surgery that left me unable to move for a long time. I'm currently trying to get back to where I was before my surgery. I'm looking for friends to motivate and help me stay motivated. Feel free to add me.

Best wishes,
Erica Ivack

    Hi there! I can relate to this.. about a year ago I also had surgery on my toe, (couldn't stand) therefore I couldn't go to the gym for 3 months.. I was miserable, but I just tried to incorporate other exercises to strengthen my upper body instead... I'll add you! I'm new.

    This is what I am doing now too! I didn't have surgery but I broke both of my ankles and as a runner this was no good! Just trying to get back to where I was before!

    Added you!! I gained some weight after surgery two years ago-- lost it, then gained it back and then some.

    You can 100% do it!!! We all fall sometimes but when we get back up we're that much stronger
