I can't believe I forgot to post this. (at least I think I forgot, If it's a repeat then just chalk it up to disfunction of the brain because of six kids) Last week my dh was home sick. We both drove to pick up his check on Wednesday before meeting my support group for lunch. I don't usually go into his work with him (a bunch of truck drivers - ugh) but for some reason I did that day. I'm kind of shy so I was just standing there waiting for him (stop laughing Kathy, I really am shy). My dh introduced me to one of his coworkers who's eyes practically bugged out of his head at me. *Laurie takes a step closer to dh at this point* He says something stupid about there's no way I would be married to Steve. (what a jerk!) So the next day he was home (Friday) he says, "you wont believe the talk at work" Oh, great I think - now what, they're going to take away your benefits. He says, "It was YOU (me) they were talking about". I guess the two ladies in the office asked him why he brought his DAUGHTER to work!!! He laughed and told them that it was his wife!!! But then he ran into the jerk driver that I had met. This guy spent like 5 minutes telling my HUSBAND what a great piece I was and how much he likes skinny women and boy I just fit the bill, etc.... What a total a$$!!!!!!!! He's very fortunate that my dh knew he'd react somewhat this way and didn't let it bother him, other wise..... I'd hate to see what could've happened. But to think that they thought I was his DAUGHTER.... LMAO again just thinking about it. I didn't realize how much FUN I'd have after having wls - but this is just a blast!!!!! laurie

Below Goal !!!! That about says it all!! Laurie

Oh yes, Vicodin - it's the BEST!!!! I totally agree on the binder. And just think, back at the turn of the century women wore those EVERY DAY!!! I remember reading about women who would cinch it up so they would have a 24 inch waste - HOLY COW!!!! I'm pretty small, but I'm definately a few inches off on that one. I would NEVER be able to put myself through that on a day to day basis. Now remember not to stretch by standing up straight. Go take another pill and just get to sipping on something good!! Laurie

I almost spit my water out! Curl up with your friend, Mr. V, and rest up and heal well. Kathy

Laurie and Heather, Get the idea? CONGRATULATIONS to you both for the deserved ego boost, and the cool new clothes. Debra M. off to take her first post-op shower vicodin is a good thing
