well my surgeries were nowhere near as drastic as invasive as yours Denny, but I actually lost weight after my first knee op.
Could not train for 8 weeks while the knee recovered, then I gradually increased my gym sessions. In April this year I had my other kneecap re-aligned, and another 8 weeks out of the gym, and even longer before I was back on full leg weights.
The trick with fat burning is cardio exercise. If you are still building muscle strength, try training in water - not water aerobics as such but working out in water adds resistance so the muscles get a good workout without them being over-worked.
the trick is to not lose hope. You might feel that your body is hopelessly out of shape compared to how you were, but if you are determined enough, you will succeed and you will get your physique back. Just be patient :)
