Unintended Consequences of Massive Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Ok Guys I don't quite know how to say this so I'm just gonna come out and say it. I keep sitting on my balls! It seems that with the receded thunder thighs and reduced fat pad in the pubic area, the sack hangs much lower than it used to. Everytime I sit down i squash the nads just beneath my now bony butt! Needless to say this causes discomfort and the embarrassing need to furtively glance around while reaching in to rescue the little fellers. Anyone else have this problem and have an suggestions? Maybe some drawers that work better than others?

Try some compression undergarments and see if that will help. It kinda keeps all the skin in and keep the "jewels" up front where they need to be.

I basically now use boxer briefs now not super long legged. But athletic types light compression. They definitely help.

I spread my legs and lower myself in the seat so they rest comfortably on the seat.

I just ordered some of these bad boys and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. I will review upon receipt!

@UpandAtom I really like them. They lift and separate your package so it doesn't cause any chaffing, pinching or embarrassing entrapment. I hope you like them as much as I do. I am interesting the the forth version. I own one of the first, 2 of the second and 2 of the third.

I managed to kick myself while lying down with my newly flexible legs. Takes some getting used to, that a new body.

Yes, this happens to me. They also get squished when I cross my legs. But I must say the bony butt is the most uncomfortable at this point.

Yeah I need to sit on cushions now, it's crazy

It became such a problem for me I went to a pain management doc. Turns out I have a misshapen coccyx. Starting physical therapy for it on Friday.

I don't have this issue yet, but I'm guessing it will happen in a year or so for me. But check out Saxx underwear. They are boxer briefs with a mesh lining to keep the goods good. Their slogan is "comfort for your balls"

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
