Father's Day 2009 = 9 days after surgery

We celebrated Father's Day with Gloria's family, the Brickers, at Pleasant Hill State Park. My picnic lunch consisted of 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 32 ounces of water.

Gloria took my picture with her dad, so if some want to see if I have changed yet can. The white legs in the picture are not a result of the gastric bypass surgery. Her dad is over 85 years old, and is doing fairly well. Her parents have been like a second set of parents to me over the years. I truly appreciate them and love them. Gloria's mom passed away in February.

Had a good time. Was not tempted at all by the picnic food, or others eating in front of me.

I did notice that I sat too long, and my abdominal muscles were sore when we got home. Especially around the incision areas. Was better today when I woke up though.

It has been a struggle to follow my schedule, as I had planned. But has not caused me problems yet. Everything is working fine, and am losing weight.

Have been walking much more and starting to feel I have more strength than last week.

More later.
