I went from 5'4 145lbs to 175lbs in the course of 1.5 years. I just started running after 3 years of rehab and recovery. I'm slowly getting back into shape as I've lost 20lbs. hitting the treadmill and elliptical machine. Canned tuna and steamed chicken with brown rice will be your best friend. Diet is definitely the key, mixed with physical therapy. Canned tuna and steamed chicken with brown rice will be your best friend. Have one cheat day so you won't go crazy. I can say that my ankle is only 85% the way it used to be. I wish you all the best and try to stay positive.
I think the rule should be that you have to tell us how the injury happened!!
