I had Achilles’ tendon surgery in June. I was in a walking boot from the end of March until August- 6 weeks were non weight bearing. Of course 15 pounds creeped on. I’m slowly getting back into my exercise and am finally back in the mindset to track what I eat. I’m in my 50s and have an under active thyroid so it’s hard!

Welcome to the community!
If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.
Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.
Good luck with your healing and your journey!1
