A member asked:

What can i do to lose weight after i had foot surgery?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Weight loss: Eat a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein and healthy fats. As soon as you are able, begin an exercise program. Eating 6 very small meals instead of 3 large ones also assists in weight loss.
