I had posted these on FB but thought I'd share with this group. I truly see my sleeve as a gift - to treasure - to nurture - to respect. So I decided to give my surgeon a gift, as well. I made her some Cookies. I gave them to her in pre-op when she came to talk to us. She was so excited she tweeted about them immediately. I also made trays of the same cookies for pre-op, recovery and the nurses on my floor. Everyone was so appreciative. If you look closely, there are little tic marks on the edges where the "sleeve" is cut -- to sort of look like staple marks. Now if only they were healthier!!

That was a creative idea. Love it

Super cute!

So nice and thoughtful of you to do that

Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery!

That is way cool!!!

Wow, very creative and so cute! Quick recovery and take care, it will all be well.

i love these!!!!

@@Mom26 Too cute!

How very clever. Fun idea!

Thanks everyone! 10 days post op - feeling ok - better when I'm sitting than standing. But getting better. I think my lungs are getting stronger (I have atechtasis - where my alveoli in my left lung aren't inflating). Lots of spirometer therapy.

Please give me your frosting recipe! I loved making rolled cookies but your icing job is a work of art
