I have been over weight my whole life and it got worse and worse with my three boys all three c-section each time I gained more and more my highest weight was 295 lbs after my third son.

My husband is in the army and he left for Korea all of 2011 so I decided then to train for and run a half marathon I lost 60lbs while training I had lots of female pain went to the dr and found out i had a cyst and it had to be removed of course i wouldn't let them until I ran my half marathon I ran that first of September then surgery a week later they tried laparoscopic and they couldn't so they opened me up and ended up having to do a hysterectomy then in February I had to have hernia repair in the incision line from the last surgery...

I couldn't exercise after that I stayed in pain from the repair. My husband came home in march and I started cooking for him like he likes it lol and gained the 60+ back well the hernia came back in December of the same year it was repaired so from December till June 3rd I have been in so much pain it was so bad at the end I could hardly eat anything it made me so sick. I had my surgery and hernia repair the same time he wasn't gonna fix the hernia unless I had the sleeve done first well when he went in to do the sleeve surgery he found that the last mesh repair was tangled up in my intestines and colon it was a mess so he used two pieces of mesh (lab grown human skin) this time I haven't felt this good since before my half marathon.

I have been very nauseous even with Water I had been getting my Protein in until a few days ago I can't even think about drinking another shake ugh I started at 280 day of surgery and this morning I weighed 240!!! 40lbs gone forever!!!! I start back to work tomorrow at pre-school at my church I can't wait to get back to runnin it was my stress relief and lord knows I need it!! My husbands parents live with us :/

Anyway that's my story sorry if it was to long or not punctuated properly or whatever I'm a hog farmers daughter from Kentucky English wasn't my strong suit lol
