Lifting weight limit with ESLD

Just wondering if there is an amount of weight that I shouldn't lift with ESLD. I was diagnosed Sept 2021. Ascites, loss of weight with fat and muscle tissue. Those were my only symptoms. I have been non-drinking for 11 months and have drastically changed my diet. I have energy, drive, and just wondering if I shouldn't lift over a certain amount of weight.  (I do volunteer work). Is there a limit?

I guess the major concern would be do you have esophageal varicies? Have you had an upper endoscopy to check for them?

If you should have esophageal varicies lifting too much weight could have very serious consequences

I would recommend you ask your doctor this question. There are no medical professionals here, only patients. Certainly only your doctor will be familiar with your medical condition.

Best of luck to you
