I've had two surgeries for my dislocated shoulder. (not necessarily bad surgery, just kept diving for balls and dislocating the shoulder, bad genes.)

I too had that problem of gaining weight and feeling lethargic (and I was always a thin guy.)

My relief was to do my rehab diligently, just as the physical therapist and surgeon directed. Be patient and everything will work out. Do not, I repeat, do not do anything beyond what they say. Otherwise you jeopardize the healing.
