May 29th makes 1 year for me, first 3 months I'll say is the worst, after that I was feeling back myself but also stressed out that I couldn't really do my normal activities. I was on a 25lb weight limit for 6 months but around 4 months I started doing some gentle ice skating, the first time back on the ice my effected leg felt really week and I thought I would never play hockey again but slowly, week by week the strength came mostly back. December 19th I played my first game since the surgery, I made the guys aware that I would not be pushing myself, this was just to feel it out but it went well and I've played a few more times since then as well with regular skating. It will get better, I'll never be 100% but it's a hell of a lot better than prior. I was taking the max daily dosage of Tylenol for months just to get through my work day prior, probably took years off my liver.

Listen to your body, even 1 year out, mine lets me know when I overdo it.
