Need advice

[Sandeen]

Hi, I am 45 yrs young, I was training for a figure competition and I found out I had to have surgery. I was out of the gym for 6 weeks. I gained 15 pounds. I couldn't do anything and my diet wasn't the best. I stopped my trainer .. Anyways I got the go ahead to go back to the gym but I am so embarrassed of how I look and I don't know where to start with my program and diet. If someone has any advice for me.

Sounds like your diet was in check before. That's a good place to start. Little adjustments may be made. As far as training and getting in the gym, I'd say screw them. You had surgery. Shit happens. It won't take you long to get where you used to be.
Is there another competition coming up? Having that goal may help you out.
