Post surgery muscle loss

a0akley

Hi wise mfp people! I have been busting my butt and seeing awesome changes in my body over the past few months with weight training. I am having a hysterectomy in a couple months and will be benched from lifting for 6-8 weeks. How much muscle should I expect to lose ? I plan to train hard right up until surgery day which will be 8 months of heavy lifting. I'm 36 and 20% body fat by caliper if that matters! Fully committed to doing what I need to do to recover well but curious if any one has experience with being forced to take a break and what the outcome was . Thanks in advance !
