FIRST BIRTHDAY WITHOUT A STOMACH

I must say...my first birthday (last Friday) without a stomach was pretty fabulous!!! I was able to go to two of my favorite restaurants (Olive Garden & Grand Junction) with some of my favorite people and still order exactly what I always do!! I just had smaller portions. I even stopped and picked up a cheesecake on my way home as I haven't had that since before surgery!!! I got to do a bit of shopping and because I kept up on my snacks, I didn't get tired once! I successfully gave myself my first B-12 shot at home, too!!! All in all, it was a pretty great day AND Friday the 13th, if I may say so!!
