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!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
