Long story short, I was doing great with my cycles about 5 years ago, felt like I was on top of the world. Healthy and happy and living the good life. Shit happened, I got hurt and I found myself with over a 100 pound weight gain and I had a gastric sleeve procedure three weeks ago. I went into surgery at 311 pounds and I'm down to 277 already but in the gym I'm weak and I don't seem to be building any strength. I can only manage about 500 to 700 calories at the moment so that's an issue. Now I have some older gear left over, as in Pinnacle gear and it's a few years expired. My question is, is it still good? And would it even help me maintain strength and some kind of mass with eating such a low amount of calories? Or should I stick with a good workout routine, lift as much as I can and when I get all this weight off then do some cycles and start trying to build mass again? I'm just heart broken guys, 5 years ago and was throwing around 315 pounds on the bench like it was nothing and now I struggle to get 185 a few times. I'm almost 40 and although I feel better as this weight is coming off, it's totally fucking with my self esteem. Sorry for the long and gay ass post but if some one has some advice or can answer my questions I'd appreciate it! Thanks a ton!
