In the past several years, I have had several injuries which have included a broken foot and a sprain. In September, I had surgery for a tendon replacement and arch reconstruction. Due to this, I have been limited which has caused me to gain a tremendous amount of weight. I am currently tipping at 200lbs. I need to lose this weight and I need some exercise to get me going. What kind of exercise can I do while I recover from surgery? Do you also have some tips related to diet that I can stick to? Help!! I don't know where to start.
