Hi Mims ,welcome to the forum.Sorry to hear about your DVT's ,what a bummer,and painful too!Basically it's about changing the way you eat rather than dieting.In my case it was eating smaller portions.I still cooked for 5 even though kids have left home!I think I still cook for three but at least it's gone down a bit!(there's only two of us BTW!)You say you can't exercise but what kind of exercise do you mean? I have a dodgy knee so high impact leg exercises are out,same as you I expect.I do ,however sit in a chair (being a lazy sod as well!)and use hand weights.It's great for toning up arms,chest and abdominals.You would have to check with doctor of course to be safe.I've never been on warfarin so do check.I also go for low carbs and keep the fats down as well as I need to lose another 2 stone if possible.I was doing great up to Christmas but I haven't lost a lot since then.The important thing though is that I have not put any on!Hopefully ,once the weather heats up I can get back on track losing weight.
Cheer up,the DVT's will pass and the sun will have you out again!
Knowledge is the key to control
