Newbie post - RNY surgery exercise question (xpost)
I'm sure this has been covered before, in length, but is there a FAQ for exercise after WLS?
Some of the specific questions I have are regarding weight training. I would LOVE to keep my current muscle tone during my weight loss. I'm well aware that it probably won't happen...but I'd like to try :) At my best I could bench over 300, I'm probably at 250ish now. I'm happy with my lower body and even abs to a certain extent (we'll know when I find them again). But, my first area to focus on would be my upper body.
But, with the limited intake of nutrients, protein, etc., how does this affect muscle building? Is it even possible to "bulk up" any during the weight loss period? What can I expect here? If I curl 100lbs for a year, will I still drop size?
