Diane ~ You are so funny....thank you my friend. Actually, I did have a teenie weenie bit of the pudding part of the Boston Cream pie my DH picked out. :kiss My kids wanted cupcakes and I didn't feel like making them, so the guys made a trip to Wal-Mart. There were candles everywhere!! :faint:

We used to have to relight them multiple times so that each child could blow out the candles....regardless of whose b-day it was!!!!

Enjoy these moments.....they are the greatest memories! Glad to hear you are back on-line. How are you feeling tho? Last week, I had a tough time getting up or down from a sitting position and seemed to feel a lot of pressure, discomfort and constant gurgling of gasses....but today I was out grocery shopping and errand running.....and pretty much had a full day of it. I even made a broiled salmon dinner for the family and was able to eat a mini portion of it without any pressure or pain!!!! (my first real food in two weeks!) My oldest is coming back from college tomorrow and I will make him a lasagna dinner....but I probably won't go there...this early on....I definately will tread lightly with wisdom! My problem is I am a pretty talented cook....in both American and mediteranian dishes....so everyone still wants Mom's cooking....although....my cooking has lead me to my wt issues.....I read cookbooks for entertainment....and then I design recipes ...and I have been famous for amazing deserts....guess I should start looking for a new hobby! Julia Childs...once said....eat anything you want....just don't eat too much of it....that is the key to my problem....and she is right...I have no control once I start eating good food...hopefully the band will remind me of my mission to lose wt.

The scale "is" actually showing progress......I suppose it should.....I am really eating like a bird. My fridge has a bunch of sugar free popsicles and those are great to snack on without guilt...and I walked thru the grocery store in a very different mindset.....food is not to be abused....I'm so glad I am not a smoker....I would probably be a chain smoker with my compusive traits...LOL

So glad to see you in here tonight......

hope you are doing better....smiles....diane : )

Yup...I'm with you on the getting up pain....exactly like you said & lots of sounds from my belly. :biggrin1: Most of the pain is in the port area and needed help the first 2 days, but I can now do it myself even though it's still tender. I have more pain in the AM, not a whole lot, but enough to take some pain meds. Also have some left shoulder pain. That's getting better too b/c I don't need to use my heating pad.

Too bad you don't get paid for all that good cooking....I guess you do get paid in a sense that you get to see your family enjoying it. I bet you are a good cook if you make up your own recipes. :hungry: Maybe you can slip in some low fat stuff w/o them knowing it. :heh: So, are you getting any rest? I hope so. Ask your kids for a foot massage. Afterall, you deserve to be pampered!!! I've only lost 3.5 lbs since Fri, but I'm perfectly fine with that. Glad to hear your scale is moving too.

Take care and thanks for the update!!
