how do I handle the turns in the road

I underwent day surgery that stopped me from activity for two days. What will happen when the pathology of those results are in? Right now, I am anemic. OMG, that explains the dizziness, lack of energy, and shortness of breath that did not seem to go away, especially while working out. In about two weeks, I will find out the route I will have to take. The less intrusive route will keep me away from any kind of activity for 6 to 8 weeks. I am frustrated to say the least. I have worked hard and I know that my lifestyle change of getting healthier has worked because of a combination of factors (getting enough sleep, eating right, exercising, decreasing stress, etc). Eliminating one factor affects the scale and the inches. If I am forced to take out the physical component, I am worried that I will gain pounds that I have worked so hard to take off my body and my level of performance, even though I am not an expert, will decrease.

Some people may not think that this bumpy road ahead is a problem and that I should not let it bother me. It is and I do! Since my weight has been an issue and something that I have to keep working on, this bump bothers me. It makes this journey that more intense. It makes me sad that I will be taking several steps backward before I can move forward again. As for medical issues, I know I am doing the right thing. I have to take care of this. I have to know that in the long run I will still "win" my weight loss battle. There is no other option. I just wish that is was going to be smooth sailing from here to my final goal.
