WHAT ARE YOU EATING PRE-WORKOUT FOR ENERGY?
Hi.
I find that I usually have a breakfast of either a High Protein shake (23 grams) or if I have the time, Irish oatmeal ( 1/8 a cup dry) 1/4 cup of cooked wild rice, 2 T of grape nuts cereal and 2 T of Trader Joe's Mango Smoothie.( I never get enough fiber) Like you, I can run out of steam during a workout, so I pack in my bag Beef Jerky, or Trader Joe's light Baby Bell cheese ( 50 cals) which I eat during my work out. I love working out and I swim a mile , do stationary bicyicle or Nu step for 70 minute and if it is a good day circuit training for 35 minutes.
What frustrates me is I haven't gotten any clear answers on weight training and other exercises for gastric by pass patients. I am 8 months out and only now have been able to eat 3oz of meat, fish or chicken at a sitting. Most days with my limited caloric intake 1100 calories -more or less- combined with my exercise-I usually have on average an caloric deficit of -1100 calories or more. I have lost 132 lbs in a year and now I am loosing weight at a snail's pace. If any one knows of a good website that addresses these issues I'd greatly appreciate any pointers.
Sorry about not having a face to go with my post I have tried soooooo many times to post my before and present photos and having a hell of time. I put at the correct size but it still wont post. Yikes!

Thanks for your reply Sarah...
I am starting the new Jillian Michaels DVD Shred with weights as I am a bit in the dark as well. I had been doing Body For Life over the year prior to surgery and now I feel I need something more revved to build muscle-especially in the upper arms so it doesn't look as though I'm ready to "take flight!"
I'll give the ideas you listed a try my next Zumba class since it runs 60+ minutes and that's where I poop out the most.
