Colostomy & Hysterectomy - major weight gain 😔

Hi,
Hello!

I am looking for suggestions for calories, foods and training after a 30lbs weight gain post colostomy & Hysterectomy.

I am 40 years old, and 5'4'. My highest weight was 175 lbs and I worked hard at losing 60lbs. That was too much and I gained some back to be healthy. I did this by swimming 4 times a week and a 1100 calorie diet. It took me about a 4 years to get to my target weight of 120.

Then I got sick and first had a hysterectomy and a colostomy (with anastomosis; ie no bag).

In the 2 years since I have gained 30lbs while being careful and nothing I do seems to help. I am on a 1200 calorie diet with high protein and swim 2-3 times a week and do another 2-3 classes a week of weights/core/yoga.

I have a lot of midsection fat I need to lose. But it is all over not just localized.

I would really like to be able to lose 0.5 to 1 lbs per week and lose most of those 30lbs.n

I do mostly desk work but want to increase my walking I curently do about 8000 steps a day.

I am new to MFP but have seen naturopath, doctor and dietician but nothing seems to work.

I also suffer from depression, anxiety and chronic pain but try not to let it stop me.

Any advice

PS. If anyone wants to take me on as a challenge I'd be more than grateful 😂
