After 93 pnds how can I gain healthy weight (muscle)



Recommended Posts

More Protein, less garbage foods, and strength building activities like yoga, kickboxing..etc..I am saying this based on what I don't do. I lost all the weight, but have a skeleton look which looks a lot more better than it feels. Hopefully someone can give some good info here...

I can't do Protein bars or shakes either.. I usually go for beef Jerky, jr hamburgers, Peanut Butter stuff, and Chic fil a has a really good chk salad sandwich that's good for 2 meals that has tons of Protein in it....it's hard getting that in :(

Yeah I will try some protein products from bariatric website..like juices etc cuz Water with protein just can't

thanks ????✔????

Body composition is 100% diet and exercise. If your diet is on point, meaning you are hitting your current Protein and Water goals, then exercise to build is needed. Download a program like Strong Lifts or Jamie Eason's Live Fit. As you do these programs add in one extra serving of protein and water daily. A serving is 20-30 grams of protein.

Lift heavy weight. Most women are scared to lift heavy but that's what it takes to build muscle. My wife is a convert and loves weight training now. Squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press. Strong lifts 5x5 is a good place to start. Give it a Google.

Lift heavier weights and right after your work out you want to eat a meal of Protein and a simple carbohydrate to help transfer the amino acids in the protein into the muscle cells. this is the most critical meal of an active person, directly after work outs as this is when your body is in its anabolic state.( within 30 mins)

I'm a woman and I love lifting heavy. I am doing it now to build more muscle before my surgery. Intermittent fasting also helps. Not sure it works with WLS, but I think I read someone doing IF and weights too.

The only way to build muscle requires the intake of carbohydrates with the Protein. And also try carb cycling. One day higher one day lower. it plays with the insulin levels on your blood and helps promote muscle growth.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
