Gross. Sorry, not judging but eww.

It's a legitimate male concern, he posted in the men's room, and you added exactly 0 value to this thread - congrats.

Are you having an increase in relations? Because that decreases the amount. That is why in infertility they suggested every other day to increase production.

I have had an increase. This surgery has been amazing for the length dept. and desire.

The amount of ejaculate is determined by the prostate and can be affected by diet as well. Protein is very important to volume too. And as you know, with the sleeve, now, even more. Prostate enlargement can restrict the penis's ability to ejaculate too and can be a sign of more important issues. You might want to have your prostate checked out by a Urologist, just to be sure. And as the others have said, of course the frequency orgasm is a factor.

LADIES!!! PLEASE, THIS IS THE MEN'S ROOM. UNLESS YOU ARE MALE, WHICH ENCOMPASSES HAVING A PENIS, PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE. THIS IS A PLACE FOR THE MEN TO BE ABLE TO POST CONCERNS SPECIFIC TO THEM. IF THEY WANT FEMALE INPUT, THEN THEY WILL POST IN ONE OF THE OTHER FORUMS, OR THE LOUNGE.

THANK YOU!

I was just about to start a thread about this very concern. I also have noticed a decrease in volume. I think I get more Protein now than before surgery. My Fluid intake is fine and frequency is the same. I'm with the OP, I liked dropping large loads. I noticed a different the first time after surgery when there should have been more. My dr is a female so this will be awkward. Kinda.

Just a thought. Since we are consuming less and our bodies are absorbing themselves it would seem logical that alot of the resources used to "produce" are being used for other purposes.

Try to find one with skinny fingers! :-)

Okay, lots of good thoughts here but not any that really hit on target. Yes, there is a degree of prostate involvement in ejaculate production but it basically controls when it comes out. My first guess would be that your testosterone is possibly low. Having a good doctor that not only checks your total testosterone, but your albumin, sex hormone binding globulin, and calculates your free testosterone is the key. Ejaculate is sperm and seminal fluids. Decreased volume can be a decrease in either of these contents. The average male ejaculates 1.5 to 5 milliliters (a teaspoon full) during the typical event. The bigger question is the cause for your concern. If you and your partner are having great sex and there's just less stuff coming out and no one cares, then enjoy it and go on. Typically there is not really a big deal. The frequency of ejaculation can lead to a decrease in volume for each time, but more typically is related to a lower sperm count in each episode.

Don't worry about your Dr being female. Mine is too. We've talked about my ejaculate on more than one occasion. She examines my testicles and checks my prostate. I am not the only male patient she has, so ... she has seen/heard it all. If you are uncomfortable talking to her about these things, then I would suggest getting a male doctor. This is your life your talking about. Your pride could be the death of you. Literally.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
