The man's side of it!

It's been twelve days since my Duodenal Switch Surgery. Yesterday after my first post op visit to Dr Greenbaum I tried some pureed chicken, sweet potato, and peas and decided; FOOD BAAAD! I ate slowly and the yam and peas were great but the chicken, I thought I was gonna die! After several hours of a major stomach ache my tummy finally settled down enough for me to get some very much needed sleep. I woke this morning and decided to have the shake, broth, tea meal for a while longer. For an after lunch shake I made a strawberry smoothie with frozen strawberries 1% milk and two sweet & lows I made enough for Cassie to enjoy as well. Mmmmmmmmmmmm good stuff. Cassie took some pics of me when I came home from the hospital which we will call the before Teddy although I did lose about 34 lbs up to this point. So here goes:

PLease excuse the DO as I had my hair cut short for my hospital stay and it is just like me, a wild and crazy guy!

Wow,
That was before the surgery? You can already see the diffrence in your face. I am so proud of you. I can't wait till I can see the final results.
I love you and I think it is great that you are getting better
