The NHS has a great 12 week online diet and exercise plan that you might like to look at but it's important that you get registered at your GP as soon as possible.
You can look up your closest GP here and find what online services your GP offer here.
The NHS site says that you can get under the care of a lymphoedema care team, have you had any specialist support? If not, it would be great to get some help with your condition.
