Good afternoon all, I had surgery 2 weeks ago. Currently I am not able to exercise and only have my diet to see me through. Can anyone tell me what they did to work their way up to a somewhat normal routine? Just looking for some support and ideas, please feel free to add me as well

    Hi!

    I would just watch what you eat and eat within your calories. A healthy lifestyle is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise.

    I wish you the best of luck. I hope you have a great recovery.

    I would watch what your calorie intake, but listen to your body.

    It's hard to give advice without knowing what kind of surgery you're recovering from. Depending on what it is, it might not even be advisable to eat at a deficit as it does impact the rate you heal at. My orthopaedic surgeon found out I was eating in a deficit leading up to my surgery (knee) and told me that for 4-6 weeks after I should aim for maitence instead. I would assume every surgery is different, just depending on the length of time expected recovery is.
