Can we eat enough/absorb enough post-op for bodybuilding?

A male friend of mine is interested in WLS - maybe VBG, maybe a proximal RnY. He asked me if after surgery, if it were possible to ingest/absorb enough protein for effective weightlifting/bodybuilding (he was apparently into this 15 yrs ago or so and would like to return if he could). Any bodybuilders out there? Is it feasible with any bypass? Are there any sites specifically addressing this topic? Thanks!
