My pants are falling off.....

Today at work is casual day (every last friday of the month). I had to search my closet for something to wear. I normally wear scrubs to work, and it is nice to get out of them occasionally. Some of my friends have started calling me 'Droopy Drawers' here at work as all of my scrubs are needing some serious alterations. Well, I finally found some pants small enough to wear, even though they are a bit big. I haven't been able to wear these khaki colored jeans in about 4 years. I got to work and went to show off my smaller pants, and danged if I can't pull them off without un-doing the button and zipper. As of Wednesday this week, I was 8 weeks out, and I am down 44 lbs, and feeling great. I was just outside while on my break, and a girl who I have seen once or twice came up to me and said that I was looking so good, and that I was the talk of the hospital about my surgery and how well I had done. This is a good thing because when our hospital was doing the surgery, they didn't have a very good success rate. So a stranger has made my day. I guess it really is the little things in life that we take for granted. I hope everybody else gets a little boost like this today too. Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-241-155 (-44)
