Starting Again After Surgery

Hi All! I'm re-introducing myself. I've used MFP a couple of times in the past with great success. However, after an injury in November 2012, I underwent hip surgery in April (about 4 weeks ago). I've not be able to do much since my injury, and still be on crutches post-op has limited me even more!
Exercise has always been a huge part of my life and it has been so limited as of late. I am going to try and be patient so that I recovery successfully so that I can move on with my life. Physical therapy exercises will be most of my "exercise" for the next 4 months. I don't need chronic hip problems at 24 years old.
Because of this sedentary spell, I've gained a fair bit of weight and weigh more than I ever have. Not be able to be active right now really takes a toll on both my physical and mental health, and this isn't helping!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been in this spot before, but I am determined to get better.
