Losing weight after surgery

edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. I am here trying to lose weight after having major back surgery in November. I couldn't walk for the 18 months prior to that and put on over 3 stone, I've lost over 2 stone myself and still have a long way to go. I wondered if there was anyone in a similar situation. New friends welcome for support xx

    I've recently had major abdominal surgery. Not as much recovery involved I'm sure. Let me assure you can lose weight using MFP even if you can't exercise. I've been really restricted and even during times of bed rest I have lost weight successfully counting calories.

    I have been swimming for around 6 weeks now which is brilliant for my back. I have started to increase my walking and feel so so lucky to be given another chance. Last year I was in a mobility scooter on holiday. This year I will be doing every activity I can xx
