One of my coworkers went through the same exact thing and had to have surgery right as tax season picked up. He came back to work in three days with his big boot and crutches and put in 70 hour weeks for months. He was a fucking trooper. He kept eating his salads and gained at most 10 pounds. He had previously been extremely active. I get that shit happens pretty damn well. I went through something very similar with three trips to the ER and two emergency surgeries and lost weight while being bed ridden and working from home. Life is hard. These fatties fall apart over the smallest things and constantly play the victim. Strong people work through the pain and take responsibility for themselves.
