The ultimate WLS fitness idea thread



Recommended Posts

The purpose of this thread is to capture your daily workouts to share with others over time. It is not meant to be a challenge thread;rather, it will become a valuable resource to others over time to find workouts that will work for them based on many different dimensions of compatibility (gee, sounds like e harmony. Lol).

I hope the thread lives for a long time.

In order for others to gauge what is possible and how it might apply to the, please include the following information:

Starting weight: your initial weight, before surgery.

Current Weight: your current weight

Height: your height

WLS status: how far out are you? Are you in loss phase or maintenance phase?

Type: the type of exercise. For example - running, biking, swimming, walking, cross fit, weight lifting, spinning, aerobics, DVD, etc.

Description: include whatever information you want to describe the workout

Pre workout meal: what did you set before the workout

Post workout meal: what did you eat after the workout

Notes: personal opinions, rants, questions, etc

Water: how much Water are you drinking?

Supplementation: a what additional supplements are you taking to help with work out

Diet type: the type of diet you are on. For example - post op, zone, paleo, 5:2

Protein: how much Protein are you taking daily?

Carbs: how many carbs are you taking?

Calories: how many calories are you eating?

Sleep: how many hours of sleep? How is the quality of sleep?

Here is an example for me today.

Starting weight : 360 lb

Current Weight: 180 lb

Height: 5'11"

WLS status: 16 months. Maintaining.

Type: Crossfit

"Fight Gone Bad"

3 rounds, 1 min per station, of:

Wall Ball, 20#/14#

Sumo Deadlift High Pull 75#

Box Jump 20"

Push Press 75#

Row (calories)

Rest 1 min

Rotate immediately to the next station every 1 min, the clock does not stop or reset between stations.

Notes: This is my first "fight gone bad" workout. I want to try and hit 300 reps. Some say it is one of the hardest crossfit WOD. We shall see about that.

Pre workout meal: 1/2 cup cooked steel oats with 2 scoop of Protein powder (50 g). Might reduce to 1 scoop.

Post workout meal: 1 AMRAP bar (300 cal, 17 G protein, 14 carbs). Made of paleo friendly ingredients. For example, uses honey to sweeten.

Water: 230 oz

Supplementation: 5 g beta-alanine, 5 g creatine, 300 mg caffiene and 14 g bcaa

Diet type: paleo

Protein: 175 g

Carbs: 85 g

Love this, and will join you as soon as I'm cleared.

Even our coaches sort of gird their loins for FGB. They say it's similar to Murph in effort. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

My weak area is definitely the shoulder presses, but I found to have pretty good reps on everything else, including the rowing. I was definitely toasted afterwards.

I hope others feel comfortable with posting their workouts on this thread. :)

      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.
