Hello Everyone!
I had a gastric bypass about 8 years ago at the ripe age of 15. It went well and I lost a lot of weight. More importantly, I was healthy. Then, disaster struck.
About 1 year ago I was working on an archaeological dig when I fell and broke my ankle. Badly. I had to have surgery to put in a plate and eight screws. I spent 4 months unable to walk at all and have been slowly recovering ever since. I am still in a lot of pain at times due to tendonitis.
When I broke my ankle, my lifestyle drastically changed, I couldn't move and exercise anymore and I started gaining the weight back. I have recently become incredibly discouraged and heartbroken because I am still in pain anytime I overexert myself but I also want to get back to my old habits and lose the weight again and get back to feeling healthy.
All I am looking for is any encouragement or advice. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
