Not yet but it's a goal! What a kick ass program! I'm only 7 weeks post surgery and plan to go the first of the year.

I looked into it but never joined because of the cost. But I've been putting together my own circuit/crossfit workouts at home and I really enjoy them. Super effective workout and you don't get bored.

I would highly recommend developing a baseline level of fitness on your own before spending money on CrossFit. I know people who are thin and in shape and it kicked their asses when they started.

www.crossfit.com posts a free workout every day. i've never done them, too intense for me at this point. Maybe once I get closer to goal and I hit more of a wall with my own more casual training.

I did Crossfit for about two years ago back around 2007. I weighed a good bit less then but literally worked my a-- off in order to weigh a good bit less. Working full time and being enrolled in not one but two graduate programs at the same time took all my time and energy so I gave it up and wound up putting my weight back on :(. It's definitely hard but very satisfying. I miss it and the people there. No way could or would try it now. Hoping to get back there in a few months post surgery. I made the original post b/c I was wondering how sleeved Crossfitters deal with/ perform the intense CF workouts while consuming so few calories. Perhaps, overload on Protein?

I would think you need extra carbs before the workout, and a nice Protein laden meal right after.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
