Weight gain and loss

I found that I lose my appetite when I was taking the ocycontins. I would eat a very small serving of dinner and virtually no breakfast or lunch.

I've been off those for several weeks now. I still don't have an appetite at breakfast- I think it due to the Ambien perhaps?

But I'm very hungry at dinner (my wife is an excellent cook), and worse- it is Halloween time (lots of candy lying around the house), followed by the upcoming Thanksgiving, cookies, and Christmas eat-fests.

I had lost 20 pounds at my lowest point- most of it muscle I'm sure.  I am slimmer as well.  But now, the pounds are creeping back (slowly, only 3 so far), but I'm going to need to do something.

The problem is that I can't find any kind of cardio that works for me with a bad hip/leg.  I am able to do pushups.  I tried doing pullups, but I've lost a lot of strength.

So now I'm trying to limit my eating until my recuperation catches up.
