Best decision I have ever made



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I'm Melissa, and I was sleeved on November 13 2013. I started my journey weighing 340 lbs, got down to 290 my 2 week pre op, and today I weigh 227 lbs. I feel absolutely amazing. I never really notice the difference until I see pics but I'm now able to do so many things I felt I was missing out on. I run 3 miles a day, do kick boxing 6 days a week and start every morning off with my Protein Shake and an insanity DVD. This is just the beginning of my journey, I am so anxious to see what's next.

Yes, your calculations are right... I can't even believe it myself. I nearly fainted when my surgeon weighed me today. I never step on the scale, I don't want the numbers to over come me. I just stay focused an work hard. I went from a 24 to a 16. 3x to a lg. thank you so much

May I ask what your eating plan is like? Calories, carbs, sugars, Protein, etc?

Would love to share. I don't do carbs, they hurt my belly. I eat mostly veggies and Protein such as fish, turkey, and sometimes beef. I also make sure I get in two Protein Shakes a day. If I want something sweet I eat grapes or a banana and it satisfies my craving. I'm never really hungry i mostly eat because I know I have to get something into my body.

Wow, you're incredible!

How soon after surgery did you start running 3 miles a day, doing kickboxing and insanity?

I'm STILL preop and feeling frustrated by the wait and uncertainty.

Keep up your great work. It's inspiring. Thank you for positing.

      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.
