Excellent! I'm seeing the same result and its all good!

Has anyone heard anything about gynecomastia (male breast reduction surgery)? I wonder if it would help with the moobs. Of course, if they're still a problem after hitting goal and building up the pecs... I lifted a lot over the years, but was always heavy and had some healthy man boobs over the muscle I built on my chest. I worry I'll end up thin but without a defined chest.

I love it!

Well, I just found this site and this section of the site, in particular, and registered today. I was sleeved a couple of days before Super Bowl Sunday and am coming up on 70 lbs. lost. Pretty sweet! Just thought I'd say hi and I'm excited to have found this group.

Wow there really is an app for everything... Just downloaded Eat Slower! I'm going to start using it with every meal.

I'd say I was able to eat about 3-4 ounces.

Well, I made a simple curry sauce and added a can of chicken to it for lunch today. I ate a small portion very slowly. And, drum roll........ I didn't puke! Thanks everybody!

Maybe this is part of the problem too. I will slow things way down and see what the effect is. Maybe try luxuriating over some lovely canned chicken! Yum! Seriously, though, good suggestion.

I think trying some canned chicken is in order, although I always thought canned meat sounded gross. Maybe it's just the moisture element hanging me up? I tried a breaded chicken tender awhile ago - threw it up. Seems like anything breaded is off limits for me though. Honestly, and this is bizarre for me to say, I'm losing interest in meat. And I've always been your stereotypical red meat guy. Still, I'd rather be thin and healthy than going hog wild at the BBQ...

I had eggs a few weeks after and got sick. I haven't tried them since, but should. I also haven't talked to my surgeon. That's a good idea... I have mostly been relying on Protein shakes for my protein. Three 30 gram shakes a day. But I'd really like to get to getting my protein from food. I wondered if I need to just force it until my body adapts to it?

Nice! It's crazy how fast the results come, right? You'll settle into it. Maybe you're having some of that "head hunger" we all have to deal with?

You got it Mike! I'd really like to be there by mid summer. I'm currently losing around 15 lbs a month... not sure how long that will continue though.
