I broke my back n 1990. Thats how I went from 250 to 380 plus. I used my surgurys as a excuse to eat eat eat. Just keep plugging away. Dont get discouraged. All the dextrose can really mess you up. Soon you will be up and moving around much more and as you increase your activity levels and start physical thearpy you will start dropping again. The key (Which I did not follow) was that after the therapy is over ask the therapist to set you on a workout regime. She is better than hiring 15 personal trainers and will know your exact conditons and can tailer you a program to fit your need and injurys.
