I’m 3 mos post op and lost 50 pounds. I’m scheduled for bunion surgery late Dec. this is the only time I️ can do it as I️ won’t be able to drive for 2 weeks, on crutches for 3 weeks and in a boot for 6 weeks. I’m a teacher so I’ll be using dec vacation and 2 weeks in January to recover. Then I’ll have the boot only for less than 3 weeks at work. I️ saw my weight loss group yesterday and they said it was fine physically but they mentioned I️ could gain weight from being home and not exercising. I️ explained that I️ want to be able to be out of foot pain so I️CAN walk more miles and start running again by spring and when I️ go to Florida in February. And that as a teacher I️ can’t really take 3 weeks off and the dec break is long and also I️ gain two Monday holidays. I️ don’t see how I️ would gain weight. I’ll be back to barre hopefully after a month and my calories are under a thousand a day. Anyone gone through surgery after sleeve that limits mobility? What have your experiences been?
Thanks!
