Hi I wrote a similar post yesterday. I feel like a mess, bloated, and gaining weight. I use to run every day but now after my surgery I can barley put one foot in front of the other. Take care, if you find something that works for you that's within budget let me know Hun x

Hi! You aren't alone! I'm now in a wheelchair and can barely do any exercise, I've ballooned from a size 12 to a beached whale! I went to my doctors and got some tablets that stopped me absorbing fat, which actually made me lose weight to start with then they stopped me putting it on. Then I moved and changed GP and he thinks the tablets are too expensive so he doesn't like prescribing them. I argued my case, and he agreed to prescribe but I had to go and be weighed every month. I'm so unwell that I don't leave my house for months on end, so this was completely impossible for me, so I had to stop taking them (it's not just the endo, I have other conditions too that put me in the wheelchair). I've now put on more weight, and I'm eating less than 600 calories per day, which is really hard to keep up when you don't see the results! I wish I had an optimistic ending that could solve your problem, but I don't! Sorry!! Have you tried your GP, yours might not be as tight as mine lol!! Xxx
