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.

      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! 😞
