Hi, I am new to this site, let me introduce myself. I am post op

lap RNY, 3-28-01 and weigh in now between 138-143 which I am very

pleased with.

I am two years post op and have been training for the 2003 Triathlon

season (swim, bike, run) since last fall. However, I am severly

hypoglycemic and I struggle with my blood sugar when competing.

During a work out I am able to stop and refuel as needed but in

competition, it is far more difficult. I have yet to meet another

post op bariatric patient in the triathlon arena and thought I would

pose my question here. An olympic distance race takes me about 5

hours to finish, so I am burning energy for a sustained period of

time. Has anyone take up endurance sports since surgery and

successfully maintained their sugar level, hydration, and nutrition

immediately before, during and for about a week after competition?

Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions. Thanks for your

thoughts, Sue

Re: endurance training

Open RNY 02-21-02. 5 " 9 " 170 LBS down from 298 LBS. Work physically, scuba dive

and downhill ski several days per week over the past winter.

I maintain good labs and energy by protien supplements and vitamins. I

generally take protien 30gr 4-5x perday. On active days I use 30gr 5-8x and eat

nuts as a source of both carb fuel and protien. Nuts are a great source of fuel

for hypoglycimics because you get the carb energy without the sugars.

I am curently not endurance training but am very intrested in starting. Please

contact me off the boards!
