Murphy's Law. I am the same way; loosing weight top down and I am an apple shape. There are other areas I would prefer to go first--like my gut and butt! Oh well,  a loss is a loss and I'll take it.

Topic: RE: Youtube
I really love watching these Youtube videos. I think if I would have known about the WLS community on Youtube I would have possibly starting posting in the beginning of my process. I love physically being able to see the changes people have made and the changes in peoples emotional and mental health. I will be at week four next tuesday so this is very motivational and inspirational to me.

Congrats on your size 2 dress. I am in Philly not too far from Maryland and we had that awesome weather to. It was great!

Same here, my procedure took like an hour and 20 minutes because of an unexpected hernia as well.

If you have the stomach which you still do!   Go to UTube verticle sleeve and you can watch the surgery being done in 3min. Very interesting!

Topic: RE: anyone else hungry?
I was hu8ngry in the hosp. as soon as I stopped thrpowing up. I still have hunger, but am easily satisfied with a small amout of food.
It is NOT acid for me. You may have some acid. Are you taking a PPI??
It is not uncommon to still have hunger after this surgery. Grelhin is found in many other places in our bodies.
Hang in there.

 I just bought the box of Hebrew National Beef Franks in a blanket, wholly yum!  Serving size is 5, but I was comfortable eating 3 for dinner.  I feel so naughty!

Damnit! Now I'm never going to get the Adventure Time song out of my head! Curse you!

I have an Agent P (Phinneas and Ferb) sweatshirt that I LOVE! It's gigantic on me now. Hmmmm...might have to get it taken in. I wonder if you can do that to sweatshirts.

So why is it technically a carb then? Not that I even understand...  I totally trust what you say since you're an effing genius :)
