I am just a few days away from my 1 year anniversary. Still feel great. weight loss has slowed to a crawl but have lost 140 and only have another 12-15 to go so I can live with that. My question or issue of late I find myself hungry and snacking far more then I have. I am still making better choices of Snacks but some days I feel like I could eat all day. does this happen to many people and will it change back in time

I think it's encouraging and empowering to ourselves and our WLS sisters& brothers to show some before and afters. Everything you went through (or are about to go through) deserves a little praise. Even if you aren't at goal weight yet, (I'm not!!) share !

I'm on a 2 week liquid diet, 5 shakes a day. I am so used to eating a LOT. I'm on day 2 and all I can think about is tacos. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. But shoo! This is ROUGH.
I'm trying to stay focused on my goal. I don't want to let some delicious tacos get in my way.

give me another year and I will post mine. lol

@@stasy-prime I'd say if you are on the liquid stage then that's the perfect time! lol cheese at the soft food stage. lol
Really depends on how you feel. I had a drink like 2 months after my surgery and it hit me hard but mainly because of the sugar in the mixed drinks I had. All surgeons are gonna say at least 6 months to a year so just do what you feel is right for you.

I would love to go to Vegas!!! wait I work in Vegas...hahahaha hope you had a fun trip! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas except STD's so yeah be safe. lol

I watched last nights episode and I really thought Dr. Now was going to admit him right as he got to the hospital being that big. I was very surprised by his ability to still be somewhat mobile. But he and his mother did have to learn themselves on how to lose the weight. It took a long time but I'm glad he finally was able to see what he was doing to himself and lose the weight needed for surgery. I can't wait to see the follow up show to see where all these people are now.

Oh I really don't care about winning or losing a challenge, I know it is all in fun and motivation for everyone to get moving. I said I'd lose because I'm currently working extra hours and not getting my walking/steps in like I should. Next week after I'm done with this extra work I'm down for participating!

Here's a picture. Enjoy!

I don't identify as a gay man and have never been with a man but thanks for assuming. I mean, I would be with a guy if he had money but just not something I would pursue for pleasure. At this point in my life I would take a sugar momma or daddy, I really don't care.

I don't visit here that often anymore as these types of exchanges have discouraged me from this site. But I thought I would pop in here with a history lesson.
Shortly after the Male/Female rooms were created, there were a few posts in the powder Room regarding breast size post surgery as well as questions regarding drooping labia. A few guys posted with some responses not appreciated by some readers yet others found humorous. Just like this thread, some ladies said it was good to read the male perspective while others lambasted the males as not having a brain as this was obviously a question for females. It was then requested the genders only post in their room. There have been problems with having the posts in the sidebar or when on a mobile device going to the recent posts and not realizing where the post was made, but the problems continued, as they obviously still do regardless of the attempts by the developers to put "safeguards" in place.
As I have often posted, it doesn't take too much intelligence to guess when a topic "may" be in one of these rooms. When you read a post about penis size or menstruation post surgery, what are the chances it is posted in a gender specific room? Even it isn't, check if the OP is new and contact and maybe report the post as being better suited in one of these rooms.
It is funny how easy it is to slip back into Middle School mode, no matter our current age. Ladies, unless you want men making comments regarding vaginal dryness post surgery (I have lots of information on that) in the powder Room, please don't add any comments to any posts in the Men's Room. Men, if you are wanting comments from the ladies, make your post in a General forum. If you realize after you have posted to one of these forums, go back and edit your post, removing your comments and apologizing for not noticing the forum.
Bottom line, let's use our heads and be respectful of each other. We don't know each other's stories our backgrounds. Don't make assumptions and love yourself and others.
As to the OP, @@Proud2BMe echos my experience.

Regarding the original question of this thread....
It all depends on how much fat you have in the pubic fat pad. If you have a lot of fat stored there then losing weight will wow you. If you were fat your entire life you may not know just how big you truly were. However, if you don't have a large fat pad then you aren't going to notice much difference.
I maybe gained maybe an inch or so. However, what really shocked me was my nuts. My nuts seem bigger and hang lower for some reason now. I have no idea why.

wow reading this thread I almost forgot what it was about. lol
Anyway, @@BSanchez2016 it's more about availability I believe. Since losing over 100lbs I have noticed more of my manhood is available and as @@Dub also stated, seems like any thing brings it to attention. lol

I'm looking at it as motivation to just get moving. I'm pretty certain I won't be winning any myself, just thought it'd be fun!

My sister just gave me her Fitbit Charge HR but it's purple. lol I haven't worn it yet and still use my old fitbit. but I'm in no way up for a challenge. I'd lose. lol

I have been feeling CRAZY since surgery. Okay, maybe crazy is a poor choice of word. More like restless. I've been craving change and adventure. Today I decided to embrace this new craving and followed the advice of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle: TREAT YO SELF.
Now instead of lavish and indulgent meals I will treat myself in more personal ways. Today I decided to go with a new look: silver fox. ????
How do you treat yourself now that food is no longer such an enticing treat?

I can see male only on the app. It is in the male only forum. People post all kinds of stuff in the wrong forum.
Her lecturing post was completely out of line. A young man asking about the function of his penis is perfectly fine. The broads with PCOS post all over the forum everywhere about their baby dreams and no one says a damn thing to them. Maybe he wants to be a dad and hopes surgery will improve his chances.
Women always pop in the male forum giving unneeded advice but men rarely pop in the female forum. Just because women are the majority on the forum doesn't get them the right to be bullys. If he wanted to ask other guys if his knees are going to be sexy that is his business.
No one asked for her Mom opinion. Just because you are old doesn't mean a 24 year old isn't an adult.

I lost 145 so far and I'll be a year out in Feb. Got another 100 or so to go.

@@Margie122 I round up too! lol

I used to love to drink, I mean love it! Now I can't really drink a beer because of the carbonation. I love mixed drinks but I have to cut the juice down or find sugar free alternatives. Other than that I still drink on occasions but it's not a regular thing for me anymore since it hits me harder and I'm usually the one that drives. Do what you feel is best for you, if you want to drink then find what works. Enjoy!

@@kelcified you will always have those people who make comments like that. We all make the choice of surgery for our own reasons. I'm sure there will be something there that you will be able to eat. If you know which bar maybe they have a menu online?

I would love more cats but sadly only can have two. As far as that dude goes, he is going to be missing out! Wait until he sees you at your goal and let him come crawling back.

great job, you look good!
