Is It True What They Say???



Recommended Posts

Okay I admit I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been brought up. But, while it may appear we are gaining in length.... aren't we also losing in diameter? :unsure:

Not here with me. Think about it, if fat gathered there, no guy would ever want to lose weight, and we would all be hooked up to chocolate milkshake IV's.

Plus, I discovered another bonus the other day. With the stomach shrinking, there is no hill between my eyes and my better half's when.....well, you know.

Have to say I've dropped about 40 pounds with the various new positions : and everything got bigger for me . 5' to 9 1/2 (no bs) no problems shaving either for her now. Much more confidence in the bedroom and mirror welcomed . Lmao actually caught myself posing. Another good reason to keep the weight off

This site has fallen very far, very fast.mmi think it is since they merged all the different types of,surgery under one banner. Combine that with a website more interested in showing advertising than letting us communicate and you get this.....a site that I used to visit daily, now visit once a week.

As for progress......what type of progress are you looking for? I don't think it'll grow any more, if that is what you mean.????

The rumours are tru-ish...

Obviously, there's no actual increase...

It's more an increase in accessibility and 'utilizable area'...

Plus the added advantage of increased blood flow, which has its own benefits...

And when you've lost 230+ pounds as I have, the changes are most definitely noticeable..

So yeah...

Ummmmm....

Any questions??

Since this is just us guys here, I'll explain what I have found. Ladies, you are in the Men's Room, so if this kind of stuff bothers you....you have been warned.

I don't have any hard data, like I measured myself before and after. I didn't anticipate this. It has been three years since my surgery. I am 100+ lighter than when I started. I was married for just over 24 years when I had the surgery.

My (soon to be ex) wife and I enjoyed trying things in bed. As time progressed, we noticed that at some point about 10-15 years ago that she could take me whole. She was proud of the fact that she was now as good as the porn stars. We assumed it was because she was getting practice. Turns out I was shrinking as time went on (Or, should I say, other parts of my body were growing to hide the important bits) :angry:

Well, once I started losing the weight......things changed. She could no longer reach the levels she used to achieve. She tried, but at the end of the day, she left 1.5-2" uncovered. :D She also noticed that what used to not quite fill her two hands, now exceeds the two hands by a good amount (She must have small hands guys, I am no porn star here)

So, this is purely anecdotal, but it gives you an idea of the differences you might see as the weight falls away. Add in the fact that you get less tired from physical exertion and that is a great combination.

Good luck

Oh boy this thread could go so deep into the gutter lol.

I'm willing to do some poking around just to see how deep that gutter is

If the lovely gentlemen of this forum are telling the truth, at least they have enough to poke a little deeper into the gutter.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself)

Not to change the subject, but it is true, but not the way you think....truth is it has always been the same, and size does not change....it is just less exposed because of body fat....

Loose weight and you gain more of a "outie" as opposed to a "innie"

hehe. outie/innie. hahahaha love it. :-D

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
