Hola! I have scheduled my surgery for this month.  My journey began at me weighing over 300 pounds. I lost 80 pounds and hit a wall. I began to gain again. Now at 257lbs, I look at all that I want to do and feel so limited. I love to hike and have trouble  making it through the entire trail.  I have always wanted to learn how to swim, but as of right now, you CANNOT get me into a bathing suit. 
 
As an educator, I always tell my students that they want to prepare for graduation in such a way that no matter what they choose to do afterwards, they have every door open.  I wish I could say that I prepared the same way. I am ready to open my doors to life and will no longer limit myself because of my weight!
 
I am looking forward to building a support as well as a resource here at bariatricpal.
 
Time to begin this new chapter.
