Well, they do say if you're gonna do something, do it well. And it sure sounds like you did a pretty good job on your legs.
So now the problem with focusing on diet alone is that it does nothing for strength and muscle tone, which with any form of imobility issue become a vicious circle - I can't do much because I'm imobile so I eventually end up more imobile. If I can come up with a series of exercises that you can do lying down or sitting in a chair which don't involve impact or ankle rotation/leverage do you want me to just post them here for you? The calf muscles are a poblem having no ankle leverage but I think I should be able to manage most of the others okay.
You should be very proud of the fact that you can walk without crutches, so let's see if we an't get a bit of tone and strength happening for you as well hey.
Take good care okay.
