RE: [RC] gastric banding and endurance - Jill Carr
Hello there- I had a gastric bypass in 2004, and after
losing 120 lbs, began endurance riding. I ride about 1000 miles per year,
and just finished my first 100, and believe that the surgery was a good
decision for me. I drink LOTS of water, and take protein bars, beef and
turkey jerky, low sugar granola bars and electrolyte drink mix (H30 by
Herbalife) with me on a ride. I take LOTS of high quality vitamins,
and sub lingual B12. I always have to be careful not to over eat, because
it doesn’t take much to over-do it. Especially on those lunch
breaks where I might FEEL like eating a whole sandwich at a time, but it’ll
cost me later down the trail. So like always, I eat small amounts of high
proteins, & complex carbs and lots of water. Which is good endurance
riding practice anyway – my horse or mule & I both kind-of just
graze along whenever we get a chance on the trail. Go ahead & email
me with questions if you need to know anything else.
Jill

Hey guys!
I was wondering if there are any of you out there that have undergone weight
loss surgery, specifically gastric banding. Does it affect you on
endurance rides? I am wondering if one could make it on a ride on nothing
but protein shakes since it would be hard to get a large enough quantity of
real food to keep you going. Are there any other issues that could come
up from being a banded endurance rider???
Thanks!
