Personal Trainer
good luck finding a p/t with weight loss surgery client experience. That is why I took courses to be a p/t and my goal was to help other wls patients. I have regained most of my weight back and have not persued my p/t as a career. I must get myself on track before I try to work with anyone else. I had a trainer for a while but he was cluelss as to how we eat, he was always trying to create meal plans but I could not eat the food as the amounts were way too much, when you reduce the portions it screwed up the nutritional count.
I would suggest using a trainer for working out only. Do not let them try to tell you how to eat and so on. Follow your Dr's plans. Yes if you get into weight training you will need to consume protien (shakes) with in 30-45 mins of weight training session. That is for proper muscle repair and recovery. Good luck in your search for the right trainer. Trainers are great for discipline and showing you the right techniques but they are really expensive.
