Hi Mike,

I'll have to agree with Andrew. Actually whatever size you are, you are. It only will seem to get bigger/longer because the extra fat/padding is used to fuel the body and it's more a ratio or proportion type of thing. Still yes mentally there is a bit of a surprise as what you see does make one feel as if a man's manhood as grown but again it is more to do with the area around it shrinking.

Matt, you are doing great. I've only lost 73 pounds in just over 3 months so your loss of 74 in about 2 months is great news. Of course I started at 430 and had my surgery at 400 so I am still 327 and not active enough with exercise. I do walk much more now but actually excercising is still difficult for me.

Just realized this thread is in the guys forum. I can't delete my post from the iPad app, best I can do is edit it to say nothing at all. :-)

Hey

I think your worrying too much, just from the skimming i did looks like your a smoker... as was i (quit cold turkey for a month after the surgery)... (then went back)...(Nicotine withdrawal is a B***). and about the private areas and extra skin .. im only three years older then you and 5 inches taller and trust me when i say the body has a great way of adjusting. So just relax and do what the doctors tell you.

any questions im around.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
