Has anyone tried Crossfit?



Recommended Posts

I am thinking about this, but not really sure I could handle it. Any experience out there?

I feel like I am at the point where walking and biking are getting a little too easy and I need to get something more hardcore for the winter in particular.

I did a few intro sessions ages ago. It was incredibly difficult and intense.

I loved the idea but wasnt ready physically to do it. Workout was really challenging and w little time to rest. i. would say my exercise tolerance was relatively high back then, i didnt pile all the kilos yet...

How far along post op are you?

You can always try and leave if it gets too intense.

I'm 9 months out but still have at least 25 lbs or lose. So it may be a little early for me to go down this Crossfit path. I like the Zumba idea - never tried it but maybe it could help with the winter. At this point, my favorite thing is to walk 3-4 miles several days a week and bike too. Occasionally, I do a video like Jillian Michaels.

Thanks for inputs!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
