So I really want to start working out, and my end game is to get fit. I want to do some resistance training to build some muscle and all of that, however I do not know how effective that will be on the low carb eating I do. I want to stay around 30g/day, and not exceed 50, but I don't know how this will translate into mucle growth... Any advice is welcome. Thanks guys!

I was sleeved on Dec 2, 2013 and started exercising when they gave me the all clear. I walk 30 minutes on the treadmill at a good clip 5 days a week, some weight machines and this ab machine and I'm down 50lbs! Just walk .. 30 minutes. Does the trick!

First off, I'm not a doctor, and I would advise talking to one before you change anything you are currently doing. But I don't think carbs have a big effect on muscle growth. Carbs just convert to sugar, and thus are used as energy or converted into fat (stored energy). Toning/building muscle is going to depend more on your Protein intake.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
