Daddy's B'day

Sept 12 was Mike's B'day and we always have cake and balloons. This year with me only being 2 weeks out of Gastric Bypass, I bought a very small cake at Bloom and let him and Daddy and Mamaw go at it! I ordered pizza online for them and went to my room as the smells are somewhat make me sick. I took a few pics of them and Spencer loves birthdays. I'm not for sure, but I think he thought it was for him again! Oh well, he enjoys it and Daddy and I both love sharing our birthdays with him.

Labor Day Daddy got him in the pool what looks like one last time before we close it down. I love the pool and would have been in it everyday but can't because of my drain tube. It was removed Wed, but I still can't get into the water until it heals, which will take 2-3 more weeks. I'm on a full liquid diet now with skim milk, sugar free pudding, cream soups with no hunks, lowfat, sugarfree yogurt and sugarfree jello. Protein is still an issue, but I'm pushing it! I start back to work on Mon 9/17, so hopefully I can get back on schedule and not feel so down in the dumps! Routine is good!

Enjoy the pics!

Post Op

Spencer is not crazy about waiting on the bus, but here he looks happy. We are usually ready way before the bus comes! He is like his Mum, when we're ready we're ready and let's go! These are a couple of him waiting the first day!

Well here I am 5 days out of gastric bypass surgery and doing really well. The worst thing is having to drink protein drinks to keep my strength up until I can start back on food, probably 3 more weeks. Actually it was harder than I thought it was going to be, I think mainly because I'm having to depend on so many other people for help. I am so used to doing things for my self and Spencer. He's been a trooper. Doesn't really understand but has been very gently with me and works well with his Mammaw and Daddy. He is having a great school year with his new teacher who is full of energy and they do lots of fun activities with academics! He comes home straved so I know they are working hard! Thank you to all of you that have send well wishes and prayers and thoughts. Without a friends like you I could not do this big change on my own. Hope to see you all at the Buddy Walk! I am so excited about it!+
