Thank you both so much for your replies and apologies for the delay in responding; I have been a little unwell. I have followed your advice and set my profile to maintain and my activity at the lowest level. I weighed myself and have lot 8lb since the op, which I am stunned at because my swelling is enormous and I am not…
