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.

      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.
