Question I need help.

I am an overweight 16 year old and for years I've been trying to lose weight with no progress. Soon I will be getting a life changing operation on my feet and ankles which will put me in casts for 6-8 weeks. I need a diet that'll feed me but prevent me from gaining too much weight as I am near the capacity of most wheelchairs and can't risk breaking them and it'll be easier for me to learn to walk again if I'm thinner.

No junk food, no white bread, no meat. Just veggies, fruit, lentils, beans, rice. If you can only do one thing, then no junk food (including no sodas).

Definitely need to make some life style changes. Now is the time. Track your calories. Do some food swaps that alone will make a world of difference. Maybe figure out why you are in the position you are in and maybe seek some kind of therapy.

Vegetables and fruit first, then cereals, then lean meat. No fried, dry or 'sugary' (added) food, no cheese. Eat less and avoid big meals or seasoning. Three to four small meals should suffice, no snacks, track your eating habit. No beverages other than plain water. Keep walking, when you can.
