I just underwent two minor surgeries. Very minor, but I have two sets of stitches in my mid-section that could pretty easily tare. Doctor's orders: No exercising for at least one month. I can't jog, speed walk, or dance - and definitely no weight lifting.

This is scary for me because this year I've done a lot of exercise. While I do believe my keto diet had the biggest impact in my loss, mentally it's hard to believe I won't regain without exercise. I'll start walking and using an at-home spin bike in a month, but that'll be it most likely all fall.

I could really, REALLY use some words of encouragement or success stories from others who were out of commission for a time physically but able to maintain or keep losing thanks to keto/low carb. I've never lost weight (or even maintained my weight) without exercising, so just feeling really freaked out right now.



*P.S. Ketoers, I'm going to post this in the low carb forum too since our Keto forum is pretty small group. Just hoping to have as many insights/responses as possible. Sorry to be duplicative, though.*
