Help... this is weird for me.

 I am 5 1/2 years out of surgery and up until last August was doing WONDERFUL!  I had my 2nd hernia repaired in August.  Since then I have had pain and haven't been able to exercise and I STILL have pain.  My surgeon has dismissed it and told me to go to a pain clinic.  I haven't been able to exercise because of it and I have a walking boot on my right foot due to plantar fascitis.  I am miseralbe and depressed.  I have gained some weight and am completely embarrassed over it.  I know that I shouldn't be because once the pain is gone I will be able to exercise again and lose the weight, but meanwhile, I am sad and wanting to hide from the world.  I am even afraid to go see my PCP in fear they will say something over the weight I have gained.  Any words of advice, encouragement, or whatnot?  I need some help.  :(

I have had a plethora of health issues in recent years, many of which have prevented me from exercise, and contributed to my depression, which I eat over.

Talk to your doctor honestly and candidly, and explore things you can do to keep your weight stable while you recuperate from your foot issues.  I had plantar fascitis before my surgery and had it surgically repaired, on both feet.  I understand that pain.

Good luck.
