Question

I had surgery last month and still can't walk much because my stitches hurt. I've noticed I'm starting to gain weight since I'm not as active. What can I do to manage this without putting too much strain on my healing body?

To manage post-surgery weight gain during a period of limited mobility, focus on a healthy, balanced diet, monitor your calorie intake, and gradually reintroduce gentle movement as tolerated. Avoid overeating or consuming excessive sugary or fatty foods. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also help.
