Keep your back straight!! I workout now before my surgery and idk how many times I see ppl curving their backs to lift. Use your legs also, You only have one spine.... keep up the good work

I will try to give you my short answers.

Weight training will give you great results and transform your body.. You can train at home using your own weights or join a gym.

A great place to start your research is bodybuilding. com. (not promoting the site)

How to weight train:

This link is to their exercise data base. Select the muscle you want to target. It will give you a list of strength training exercises. It will show a short video on how to position your body and use the equipment.

nutrition:

I have worked with a WLS dietician or a sports medicine dietician. Sadly they had no information on this. We have worked as a team to figure out what works for my body.

Fueling your body is different if you choose to have an above average fitness level. There is no way I can eat like a athlete with my tiny stomach. Its been trial and error increasing calories and carbs.. But it can be done.

You can stay keto or low carb as your body is already adapted. Check out Ketogains website for info and to calculate Keto macros.

how to weight train?

Bodybuilding.com has been mentioned and it is the definitive resource but there is so much info that I would do one of their free training programs like Jamie Eason's Live Fit. You simply follow the workout they give you. Strong Curves is also popular but you don't mention having any lifting experience so I don't think you should go there until your are further down the road.

how not to weight train?

Use terms like tone and lift pretty hard these terms are not used by weight lifters. Lastly, always go for form over function. Improper lifting will lead to injury.

help!

@@jenn1 thank you! actually just providing me with the term 'bariathlete" has already opened doors for me. now i can start to research it specifically. thanks!
