Hi Biggs77857,
You have come to the right place. Stressful is an understatement. I am 6 weeks PO and learning to deal with no Prostate is no fun, but I am 69, so I have had a good run. To lose weight, buy a good set of
digital scales(cheap ones go up and down) and try to
lose 300 gm. That is achievable Good Luck and keep us posted.
