Victor here; i am 2.5 months post op down 70 pounds... i started doing the cardio and weights after 6 weeks and then started wondering...... should i forget the weights for now and do more cardio till i get closer to goal??(about 40 more lbs to go) I have never been on any weight lifting program in my life and it seems when i would lift i never noticed any difference..... Thanks all!!

Hey Victor,
I think it is important that you do both! Muscle burn fat twice as fast. I recommend a split program and incorporate some cross training and cardio. My two cents...

At the fitness lecture I went to at an OH event, Jeremy Gentles emphasized how important it is to do strength training to build up muscle mass.
I think you need to do both. They do different things to your body and both are necessary.
