Needing advice

[mattawayrn]

I'm past my one year mark for gastric bypass. If there is anyone out there that is strength training, can you please provide some insight on how many calories I need to gain muscle. Or refer me to some literature that can guide me in nutrition?

You don't need a specific number of calories to build muscle. Follow your food plan and add muscle-building exercise. The muscle will grow and the fat will melt away in your intestinal waste. If you're trying to become a muscle builder, there are supplements for that, but ask your nutritionist about them first. If you increase your activity drastically, make sure you increase your visits to a bariatric specialist.
