Unintended Consequences of Massive Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Ok Guys I don't quite know how to say this so I'm just gonna come out and say it. I keep sitting on my balls! It seems that with the receded thunder thighs and reduced fat pad in the pubic area, the sack hangs much lower than it used to. Everytime I sit down i squash the nads just beneath my now bony butt! Needless to say this causes discomfort and the embarrassing need to furtively glance around while reaching in to rescue the little fellers. Anyone else have this problem and have an suggestions? Maybe some drawers that work better than others?

Try some compression undergarments and see if that will help. It kinda keeps all the skin in and keep the "jewels" up front where they need to be.

I basically now use boxer briefs now not super long legged. But athletic types light compression. They definitely help.

I spread my legs and lower myself in the seat so they rest comfortably on the seat.

@UpandAtom I really like them. They lift and separate your package so it doesn't cause any chaffing, pinching or embarrassing entrapment. I hope you like them as much as I do. I am interesting the the forth version. I own one of the first, 2 of the second and 2 of the third.

I managed to kick myself while lying down with my newly flexible legs. Takes some getting used to, that a new body.

Yes, this happens to me. They also get squished when I cross my legs. But I must say the bony butt is the most uncomfortable at this point.

Yeah I need to sit on cushions now, it's crazy

It became such a problem for me I went to a pain management doc. Turns out I have a misshapen coccyx. Starting physical therapy for it on Friday.

I don't have this issue yet, but I'm guessing it will happen in a year or so for me. But check out Saxx underwear. They are boxer briefs with a mesh lining to keep the goods good. Their slogan is "comfort for your balls"

      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.
