Best decision I have ever made

[Melissa Ayodele 5]

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.

Awesome job! Your fitness routine inspires me. It's obviously working wonders!

Am I right in what I'm seeing?! You've lost 113kgs in under 4 months?!!!!!

If it is.. H-o-l-y-c-o-w!

[Melissa Ayodele 5]

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?

[Melissa Ayodele 5]

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.
