Personal r-rated Question For The Guys Out There



Recommended Posts

At one point in our lives my hubby lost 90 lbs and I lost 50. Let's just say there was "new territory explored"....he gained back the weight and so did I...

Now I've lost 90 lbs and he has decided its time for him to get back on weight watchers...

Weight loss makes a big difference in how close you can get and the that pesky pad of fat in the genital area

Better sex is one of the biggest NSV's...a personal favorite of mine!!!!lol

Ok all you guys that have been banded I heard that on opra the other day she had a special on something to do with weight loss ok, and in her discussion it was said that men grow and inch for like every 25-50 lbs they loose and you know what I mean by gaining an inch and I was just wondering if anyone would like to put this in perspective as to whether its true or not, if not I will when I see some changes on my end. Just a question hopefully not offensive. :nervous

*Ahem* Well, after dropping nearly 35 pounds so far after banding, I can honestly say that I've noticed an "improvement". :) Seriously, I've heard this theory before from various sources, and I do believe it's true to a degree. Something about having less fat allows the blood to circulate down there better (i.e., not nearly as much blood is drawn away to my thighs & stomach). In actuality, I believe I'm just regaining my "normal" size back that I had been slowly losing over the years as I gained more & more weight. But now that I've crossed the 30 pound mark, I will attest to the fact that things are, um, "fuller" than they've been in quite some time. "Marital fruit" is so much better these days, and I'm not nearly out of breath as I had been. I can't wait until my tummy's completely flat so that I can hold my wife closer during intimacy like I could two decades ago!

:whoo:

It was Dr. Oz on Oprah that if a man can lose 35 pounds, he will gain an inch in size. However, he did also say that this will taper off (so not one inch for EVERY 35 pounds!). Sorry to burst any bubbles:)

My boyfriend has to lose about 200 pounds and is getting his WLS on Monday. He heard about the Oprah doc and grinned... thinking how much he'd theoretically grow.

I'll be sure to let you all know once he reaches the footlong mark! LOL!

      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.
