Laying on the wrong side of the bed.

If you know me well, you know that I enjoy a good nap. Heck, I love good nap and despite my narcolepsy medication, I can still sneak a nap from time to time.This past week has been weird and on Tuesday night I was getting ready for bed and I felt the need to lay down first (because who really has the energy to wash their face AND brush their teeth). My sweet Sandy decided that she wanted to lay on my side of the bed, so being a good dog mom, I let her. Charlie was in the floor on his bed, as he had nudged the bed from the living room to my bedroom. Laying on the wrong side of the bed is weird. It is this unknown territory, yet it is still comfortable. It amazes how the scenery is different, even though I am only about 12 inches to the left. The angle to watch TV is better, (but I have cancelled my satellite and currently only have an antenna and Netflix access in the living room).
Sometimes just a small move out of our comfort zone can give us a new perspective.
Surgery related: I have returned to the gym this week! I am going to purchase new gym shoes soon, maybe today? I have lost 35 lbs in approximately 9 1/2 weeks. I feel good, although I have been a little fatigued. I will have blood work done next month to make sure my vitamins are working.

4 months already?

Surgery seems so long ago, but in reality yesterday was four months since I had gastric sleeve surgery. These photos are four months apart, I have lost 51 pounds. I feel amazing! I got the results from my three month postop bloodwork, the only issue is my thyroid is not working correctly, which we knew before surgery. I will have further testing on that in the next few weeks. I started this process wearing a size 28 in pants and a 4X in T-shirts, I am now in a comfortable size 22 pants and a 2X and T-shirts. If you see me on a regular basis, you will notice that I have the same clothes in heavy rotation, bear with me, I'm working on selling some clothes so I can buy new clothes that fit! As far as exercise goes, I continue to go to yoga class and I have started attending a spinning\cycling class, and is always the elliptical. The elliptical is my true love. I am forever grateful for everyone's support during this journey so far, and I know that your support is ongoing. Love y...

beginnings of the 26th birthday celebration

who has the best friends in the world? i do. so, since my birthday is on a tuesday this year, we started my birthday celebrations a little early. of course i picked the resturant, and i chose Conner's steak and seafood, in Huntsville. we have been there on one other occasion. their steaks are simply amazing! joining me in this celebration were amy, amanda, ben, brett, jessica, and dave. so after this wonderful dinner, we walked and talked a while, which was hard because is was about 30 degrees outside. then we, mainly brett, wanted to take someout door photos, these are just a few that we took. brett took this, i am almost positive that we were not ready when he took it. we look pretty amazing anyways. then it was time for a group shot, the first attempt...ehh the camera was prompted up on a coke machine... didn't work so well. ben looks as if he were smoking, it is actually a straw from dinner. after this photo, brett put the camera in the window seal behind ben...

Who said no?

If you read my last post, you would know that I submitted a claim to my insurance company for them to cover a Panniculectomy, and they had denied it. WELLS I am thrilled to share that they ACCEPTED my appeal and I will be having surgery on Feb 29th. This again ties into the thought that the Lord has perfect timing. I had peace that this surgery would be covered, I just didn't know when. And just for good measure, the photo on the left was taken in October, when I was four months post op. The photo on the right was taken this morning, and I am eight months postop. I am still right around 276 pounds. I feel comfortable with that because I know that I'm gaining muscle from working out consistently. Love Y'all big! Sara

I ask a lot of questions.
