I'm not sure that would be considered a subtlety.

Welcome back to your d**k!

I think it just looks bigger. And that is a good thing!

enjoy.

the real pay off is being able to move better in bed - or wherever!

like I said ENJOY YOUR NEW SEX LIFE!

Best of luck. After my surgery I kicked my self for not doing it sooner.

Good for you,

THATS GOOD, BUT, I STILL WANT TO BE A PORN STAR!

NSV = I JUST PLAIN MOVE BETTER!

Stalls WILL happen from time to time. Fact of life.

Remember always eat you prescribed number of Protein grams per meal. Its a life long marathon - not a sprint to the end of the month.

Well Autumn

I always say the bitch if it is "no one notices the first 75 pounds"

They will notice any day now!

Do double entendres have twice the calories as as regular entendres?

I have lost a petite cocktail waitress.

My work out buddy and I have together lost 2 chunky cheerleaders.

I agree with the other about prepackaged crap.

Sounds like you have some real issues. I wonder if t your doctor is allowing toast just to make you feel good, or if there is a medical reason for it. Ask the doctor.

I eat what I call "CLEAN" Proteins that ar EFFICIENT, By that I mean

Greek yogurt.--- read the label. The one I am eating now is 18 grams Protein for 130 calories (1 cup)

I never buy a yogurt that is more than 10 calories per gram of Protein.< /p>

Refried Beans are a protein, I consider them IN EFFICIENT . TOO many calories and too many carbs for too few protein grams.

eggs

Yogurt

Cottage cheese

Ground turkey

Pork chops

Fish

Even steak

I eat a lot of meatballs in Tomato sauce

The first few times I went out after surgery I was very afraid of what I could eat, and how I would look to my friends.

I met some friends at a pizza/sub shop. Got there early and looked over the menu.

The place had a lot of Italian food.

" Bingo". Meatballs! I asked how big each meatball was and they showed me. I figured that 2 meatballs would be the right quantity.

I told the person at the counter when my friends came in I would order 2 meatballs in a bowl---- basically a meatball sub---- no bread.< /p>

Worked grea! Except the cook took pity on me and must have thought--- " I big guy like that won't be happy with just 2 meatballs "-- so he gave me 3.

In sub shops I order what is basically a sub without the bread:

tuna salad

chicken salad

Egg salad

Lobster/ seafood salad

Hotdog- eat the dog out of the roll

Hamburger- no bun

In one of the finer restaurants I go to they have a Kobe meatball appetizer.

$12.00 for 2 HUGE Kobe beef meatballs. Eat one. Take one home for another lunch.

You Cannot eat that well at McDonalds for $6.000/ day

In nicer places: shrimp cocktail. Or oysters on the half shell.

Shrimp are sold in categories. 15- 20 means 15-20 shrimp per pound.

Each shrimp is 1 ounce. 4 shrimp = 4 ounce of Protein.

I hope this helps.

I'm happy to give other tips.

I eat out a lot.

Poke salad yesterday!

You need to always time-out food and drink.

The reason is you will stretch your pouch if you drink with food.< /p>

Sold some stuff on Craig's list.

Gave some to some VERY HAPPY FRIENDS.

Vs gal,

What kind of work do you do?

I'm at a desk. I was out less than a week.

Wooo hoooooo go with it!

Eat what you can without being uncomfortable.

If it 2-3 oz, it's 2-3 oz!

Do not force anything.

Stalls happen.

I was stalled at 262.

Thought I would never lose another pound.

Stalled at 202.

It will happen.

The urban myth is one inch for 20 pounds.

But that's the myth!

You just look bigger. And that's cool!

Sometimes people notice and don't want to say anything. They might be afraid you are sick with cancer or something.

One friend said I just looked like I used to, or was supposed to.

Pretty cool!

I started at 285.

I barely noticed the first 40 pounds.

My joke is: nobody notices the first 75.

I measure most of the time. The only way to be sure I do not over eat.

It works

I told only some people. After people notice, if they don't know, they wonder if you are sick ( cancer).

I now tell everyone if they ask. ********* ALERT*******: no one notices the first 75 pounds!

Carbonated drinks are out.

No beer. No sodas.

However. Whiskey is fine. Wine is fine.

In the summer I was missing beer. So I let a beer go flat. Then drank it. Yuck!

Gin and " flat" tonic Water is fantastic. Just take the cap off and let it sit in the fridge 24 hours.

Welcome. We all get here in our own way.

Being healthy is a life style choice. I'm glad you made the choice to take the first step.

I'm 14 months out and 87 pounds down. Best thing I ever did.

It's does not matter why it look bigger. As long as it does!

Strutted around the locker room today.

lOL!

Oh yeah. It's bigger. Or at least looks bigger. Either way it s better!
