Birthday cake

Okay, I admit...this is an odd thing for me to be making just a week after bariatric surgery. But surgery happened when it happened and birthdays just keep happening. Today was Emmett's 2nd birthday party (tomorrow is the actual day) and everything went well. I think I put together a pretty sweet cake and I managed to do it all without eating it...though maybe I did lick my fingers.

It was hard to cut slices for everyone except myself. I admit I desperately wanted some cake. Someday I'll be able to have some...a very small piece maybe. But certainly not now. My liquid diet is still going pretty well. I'm getting tired of protein shakes a bit, but I'm dealing. These last few days we've been preparing chicken breast of various types for dinner for everyone else, so I just stick a few pieces in a food processor and blend the shit out of it with some juice. Yeah, the consistency isn't chicken, but it still tastes pretty good.

I'm also doing well on walking...I'm aiming for 2.5-3 miles per day and these last few days I've managed to do it. I still seem to need a nap every day though. My incisions are still pretty good. Only the one big incision is still sore at all, and it is quite mild now. I look forward to going back to see the surgeon for my post-op appointment. I look forward to moving onto real food after that.
