i got surgery on my knee about 2 weeks ago. i went from being active 6-7 days a week to sitting on my butt in the same position all day. (im not allowed to put weight on it) im gonna be like this for 2 months and i am very worried about gaining weight. yesterday in the morning around 9 am, i ate 2 large helpings of ice cream and i made myself not eat again until 11 that night, and i ate potatoes with vegetables. of course, i drank water in between as to not get hydrated. today i have only eaten a tangerine and a medium portion of ice cream, and that was about 6 hours ago (it's 4.30 now)
so far my stomach hasn't felt hungry, but i feel myself losing concentration on what i'm doing (which is bad, because i have a ton of make up work to do lol). also my head feels kind of heavy..it's weird. so do you think this is healthy? if not how can i eat so that i dont gain weight these next 2 months?

this is something that bugs me after surgeries. the doctors rarely supply you with a diet and other daily life help. they tell you what to look for about your surgery and thats it. you need to call your general physician. you need to ask if you could get help with a diet while your very low activity, but yet still recovering. there ae alot of foods that help heal wounds, keep weight balanced, make you feel awake and not slugged down even though you dont get much activity. you need to stay away from fats though (like the ice cream) because fats and sugars are fast burnign energy, for times when you need to walk far, or run, ect. other wise i realllyy advise you just to call your doctor. they really shouldnt mind. good luck!
