Nervous......It's my son's birthday

[iheartShavon 4]

I'm three weeks post op and it's my four year old son's birthday. Cake and coffee are my weakness. I brought a Protein pudding from the Vitamin Shop so I can have a "treat to". So much temptation, first a mother's day tea and now a birthday party. I'm terrified of dumping so I know I won't eat but I'm worried I might lick some icing. Pray for me lol

Don't lick any icing, not at three weeks. I have a dear friend who had a bypass a year and a half ago. She got a craving at four weeks, ate a couple bites of her craving, and ended up in the ER because the pain was so bad.

Hang in there. Your son will have other birthdays!
