Since my doc gave me a "gift", I gave her one too...

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!!

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
