Day 16 Post-Op: 02/09/2023 530pm

Hot Bath #2 & 45 min cycling session.

Same as this morning. Takes 20 squeezes of the pump to reach max inflation. Still takes a couple of deflation attempts to get floppy but impant still reinflates to the same (semi erect) level.

Dick measurements in same range. Not sure why they vary, except for measurement error or variations in inflation. Length is constant at 5.75" but girth varies at shaft between 5.75-5.875" and at base between 6-6.25."

Dick felt a little sore going into the tub but afterm 45 mins in tub and 3 hrs w/a heat pad in my lap, the soreness has gone away. Still taking 2 - 500mg acetametaphin & 3 - 200 mg ibuprofen for soreness at night as needed.

I was prescribed a huge supply of Norco but have never needed to take any. Narcotics never work to relieve pain for me anyway; just give me headaches and make me sleepy. So, better not to take them.

Day 17 Post-Op: 02/10/2023 730am

Hot Bath #1 & 45 min cycling session. Same procedure. Erect a total of 1 hr. Still gets a bit sore by the end of the session. Measurements unchanged; not that I'd expect them to be much different so soon in the processs. Still basically 5.75" x 5.75" -- give or take a fraction in girth from time to time.

Balls still swollen and are starting to chafe my inner thighs. Started smearing vaseline between the balls and thighs to reduce friction. And dick still self inflates to semi-erect after deflation.

Even though it's supposedly unnecessary, I'm actually finding it easier to hold the deflate button down continually while sqeezing my dick to deflate it because it sometimes takes me 2-3 attempts to deflate it using the (so called) "one-touch" method.

Day 18 Post-Op: 02/11/2023 750am

Hot Bath #1 & 45 min cycling session. This is getting to be pretty routine and nothing new to report.

Same procedures, same results and same measurements. Will continue to make this daily reports until I see my doc again this coming Thu 02/16/2023 when I may switch to weekly (instead of daily) reports.

Balls are still swollen and dick still self-inflates to semi-erect after deflation. Otherwise, nothing else to report.

Hi: I wanted to ask a fast question regarding your inflation after deflation issue . Maybe the answer is in the thread somewhere, as I did not read it all the way through, but anyway, here is the question : After you hit the one touch deflate button and you have deflated, do you then do a 1/2 pump so that the lock-out valve moves into the lock out position so that self-inflation does not take place ?

One thing i can really relate to is your profound sense of "Day X postop". I literally would wake up every morning for the first month and my first thought would be "....Day X". With each passing day came an enhanced sense that it's all going to be ok. Now I'm thinking in terms of months and weeks. Today is officially "One month and one week"! :D

I've tried 3 different methods of deflation all with the same result -- automatic reinflation to a semi-erect status.

The methods I've tried include:

1) The "one touch" or really the 2-3 sec deflate button hold and then squeeze the dick to deflate.

2) The "continuous deflate button hold" while squeezing the dic to deflate it.

3) The "one touch" or "continuous hold" w/a short pump to (in theory) close the valve.

Nothing works to prevent my implant from auto inflating afterward which always reinflates to the same semi-erect level. Have an appt w/my doc this coming Thur 2/16 and this will be the main topic of dicsussion.

This isn't a major issue (just uncomfortable) as long as I'm wearing clothes and a pair of lycra shorts to keep my dick close to my body but I'm also a naturist and frequent a nudist resort where I don't want my dick to look too prominent.

It's not at "full mast" but it's fat enough to look like it's "excited" which is not kosher at the resort. Fortunately, I usually keep to myself (I'm there mainly to get a tan) but walking around the resort will require me to wear shorts unless I can figure out how to "fix" this problem.

Day 18 Post-Op: 02/11/2023 115pm

2nd Cycle Session (not in the tub) using an electric heating pad to keep my dick warm.

45 mins; 3 Perito Sets of 4x10. Took 25 squeezes of the pump to fill it to max and added 10 pumps after each set. # of squeezes is currently varying betwen 20-30 which I think has more to do w/whether I do "full" squeezes or not.

Had a problem finding the deflate button but when I did, I used the "continuous hold" method until my dick was floppy (and you could see the creasing of the implant cylinders) but my dick auto reinflated to semi erect as usual.

X Days Post-Op seemed to be the best way to mark the time.

One more week and you should be able to start cycling. I'm sure you're looking forward to that!

Good luck & best wishes to get your implant up and running. ;)

Which naturist resort do you usually hang at ? I have been to several over the years but none recently: Grand Lido Superclubs (which closed, was torn down, and has now reopened in a different format ); Grand Lido Braco ( R.I.P.) ; a place in the Land of Lakes area near Tampa that I can't recall the name of ... maybe the name started with a "T" ? ; and Hidden Beach were the places that I used to go to ... Oh .. and I am recalling another one that we went to the name said something about "Living Waters" in it .... it was (is?) somewhere not too far from Palm Springs.
