I am 5 years post gastric bypass surgery, but I’ve had complications with my back. I recently had my 3rd lumbar fusion approximately 8 weeks ago. I was told by my surgeon it was very important not to gain weight as this will put pressure on my back and worsen my pain. Well I’ve found that very difficult to do. My pain is so severe after this surgery I am afraid to move. I try walking but I can only walk max 1 block due to severe nerve damage pain to both my legs. I have also been depressed because I was told I could never go back to my job (I’m a dialysis nurse) due to the repetitive strain n pressure. I’m an emotional eater. I have gained 10-15 lbs since my surgery on 12/13/17. My pain gets worse every day cus of this. I can’t stop eating n I can’t exercise. Anyone going thru anything similar to this or know if someone with the same problem that can give me some advice? I am already depressed so I don’t need Any criticism or negative comments, just need advice on any diets or exercises. Not sure how I have been able to eat so much, since my bypass I have always eaten very little n I was able to lose a total of 105 lbs

Water aerobics sounds good, I’ve heard of that, I’m really gonna try that, thank u so much

Thank u all for all ur kind and positive words! I really appreciate it so much
