I understand l had fusion surgery in 2015 and foot surgery in 2016. Sometimes l try to walk but my left foot hurts after the surgery and it's so hard to get up and move. So now l try to take my dog out to walk. My legs are swollen and l believe it's the diuretics because sometimes if you take medicine for along time or your given another it's not effective. I also gained a lot of weight. I was down to a size 14 and brought a lot of new clothes because l was so happy l lost weight. Then l went to size 16. I said ok maybe it's okay to gain a little weight so l went and brought some more new clothes. And now l am wearing a size 18. Well that's terrible so now l have decided to eat vegan foods. I definitely want to get back in shape so don't get depressed you are definitely not the only one. It's hard but and discouraging at first but it can be done. You can definitely succeed and even if it's one pound l learned to reward myself because l know it encourages me that l can do it.

@techy - Lisa, Thank you for sharing your experience and your words of encouragement.
You said that you have learned to reward yourself because it encourages you. I think this is a terrific idea as we all try to stay motivated, and to work past oursetbacks. Would you be willing to share how you reward yourself?
