ch1_image_001.bmpHey guys! I'm so morbid, I asked the doctor to take a pic of my stomach before he took it out. Here it is! Everything is separated, just before he took out the remainder of my stomach... I like to think of it as a reminder of what I went through so I can make this life change.. Everyday is getting better.. I'm confident in my choices now.. I'd just KILL for some real food! LOL... Keith asked me what I want for my first real meal, and I was crying saying "I don't wanna think about that!!" I had an issue with my psych meds, I wasn't taking them like I should have, so I got a little depressed. They're just too big for my stomach.. So, I'm crushing them and putting them in applesauce. I feel old.. LOL... I haven't weighed myself. I'll do that tomorrow. I did go through my clothes today, and I'm glad I'm able to take a few pairs of pants, and dresses to the consignment shop tomorrow, and give some stuff to goodwill.. I was soo stoked about this one skirt I have. It's from Target, and it's a size 18, I think they're cut a little small. Before my pre-op diet I couldn't even get it over my hips. Today I tried it on, and it goes over my hips, and I can almost zip it!!! So excited about that!! I guess that's my first NSV! :) Happy Labor day guys!

Pre Op

That's pretty interesting. I wish I had asked my doctor to take a picture, cuz I'm constantly wondering what's going on in there. So, what's the part that's left inside? Just that strip to the left?

Which part is the stomach? I can see the staple line, but hard to tell. Hey is that a coffee bean in there?

Haha! That's what I thought I saw, either a coffee bean or a pinto bean! I too can't tell what I'm looking at altho I do see a staple line.

Mokee- to see the picture click on the little thumbnail that says :ch1_image_001.bmp (3.75MB) . It is right before the story starts. Took me a while to find it!
