Um... endowment?



Recommended Posts

Okay, okay, I know I'll get a whole lot of "size doesn't matter" responses to this, and it's embarrassing to even ask. However...

To us guys, our "endowment" is intimately tied to our self-esteem. Now, on that front, I'm doing okay genetically speaking, but, well, I'm fat. Obese. The result of that is that I have a big gut hiding... things from me, and a fat pad above the pubic area that also makes stuff look smaller than it really is.

Any guys (or gals for that matter) know if losing the weight will make the, um, package area more prominent?

I know, I know, it's silly and shallow, but then again -- isn't all concern over our appearance silly and shallow? I'm not counting on a dramatic change in this area, but it would be nice to have that uh... little REMINDER that "hey, I'm a man after all!"

Anyone?

Dude...after all the positive responses, we'll be waiting to find out just how things progress with you! (and I've no doubt you'll see...) :thumbup:

I used to have a very nice package. When I got heavy it seemed to shrinks inside my abdomen. I thought it was going to be forever like that, you know just getting older. But after the weight loss, it has come back just like before, and i get the morning woody's again. So i guess this was an extra plus that I hadn't even planned on.

Now THAT would be change I could believe in!

So many nice benefits to weight loss :thumbup1:

Hey...that little fat pad in the pubic area does have its benefits now...so don't go getting TOO skinny!

I have to say that since my husband has started working out and become much more physically active...he's also taking karate now....he's been a lot more....umm...in the mood I guess.

No complaints here...I'm always in the mood!

This is too funny but it is soooo true. I will tell you that Mr Happy does seem to have grown not only in length but width since being release from the fatcave he used to hide in. I think that a lot of it has to do with him being able to breathe for the first time in decades....LOL!

FYI .......Orpah did a show with Dr. Oz not that long ago where this was discussed....see answer below...

Men can make their penises bigger. If you are overweight, losing 35 pounds adds one inch to the penis. Unfortunately, this rate of "growth" slows as you lose weight. Technically, you're not actually making it grow but, rather, losing the pelvic fat that's currently covering it. As you gain weight, the fat engulfs your penis and crowds out the light and you may begin to feel that it's "out of sight... See More Answers ?

Good god, if that's true, I'll be godlike... er, I'll shut up now. :tongue2:

Honestly, I'll be happy for ANYTHING. Like I mentioned, it's been so long since I felt like a man, that any little bit (hehe) will make me happy as a teenaged boy.

Also I've noticed since I've lost 30+ lbs that what I have is, um, firmer. Extremely so. The word "granite" comes to mind.

If this is a shadow of things to come, I am seriously loving it.

Without going into too much detail, now that I'm about 3 months and 60 lbs out, I'll just quote from Blazing Saddles: it's twoo! Oh, it's twoo, it's twoo!

      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.
