    Pre workout?

    If the caffeine in the pre workouts are a problem you can try the post workout as the “pre”. Since they often have the same ingredients minus the caffeine.

    Post-VSG Weight Lifting and Caloric Need

    I'm in the same boat as you. I had my surgery in April 2019 and hit my weight loss goal. Then I started to increase my calories by reverse diet so I could gain lean muscle. I was doing a weight lifting routine and was frsutrated like you. The only way I know for sure that I've gained any muscle is I had a few dexascans done which showed a 3lb increase over several months, I also lost a percentage of body fat so I took it as a win. Keep in mind I was still in a large calorie deficit for most of that time. From what I've read there are a lot of variables that go into how fast and how much lean muscle you gain on different routines. I would say get an accurate measure of body fat % and lean muscle mass and track it over time. And keep grinding, my dietician who helped me on this path likes to remind me that a lot of those you see posting on facebook have been at it for a long time.

    HIIT or normal exercise

    The exercise physiologist at my clinic just recommended that I start incorporating HIIT into my work plans. It is not something you need to start out with, but something you can work towards.
