The top photo was one of the beautiful arrangements that many of our loving friends had sent. It has a cute doctor bear on it. Almost as cute as Dad's doctor.(Ha-Ha)
This dog really is this mans best friend! This dog has legs that maybe have seen the ground 2 or three times. Lilly lovesDad because like any baby of a family she gets away with everything! Dad says he misses the chewing and the flavor of food. Dad told me that the nutritionist that he has had his "belly full" of of the whey protein powder. Dad has so many grams of protein that he has to consume. (80 to be exact for a man) He said he is tired of drinking crunchy stuff. We told it wasn't supposed to be crunchy but it is probably because he only used a spoon to mix it.
He told her he was going to throw it in the pool. (Ha-Ha) sounds like Dad huh! It really is hard to take in 80 grams of protein a day, but he manages to do it.
For those of you who don't know Dad's stomach is currently 2 ozs, and it will eventually stretch to 3-4 ozs. He had the verticle sleeve gastric surgery. In case any of you were wondering. Some of this will just be informative, so you are aware of the facts. Dad says he will lose 1/2 to 1lb a day. He said he will be 60 lbs lighter by the summer. Good news! He still has a great attitude! Also Mom you have been a great sport too, you have been sooo supportive and thats sweet to see. He will be off for a minimum of another week but probably he will be off till the 15th of Feb. Tommorow is 2 weeks after surgery and Kiah's 10th birthday and we definatley have allot to celebrate! In a way it moves me to tears, because 10 years ago,tommorow God gave me such an amazing "beginning", and 2 weeks ago tommorow Dad's new life began! I love you Dad and I am so proud of you!
