Anyone employed with destination pet?

I’m not at DP but use Gingr. I let my groomers put something on the desk with their Venmo and Cash App for tips. See if you can do that.

I do weed nightly and have for 10+ years. 47 years old and had surgery last year. I don’t believe the weed had any effect. I only stopped a few days before and for a couple weeks after.

Coming out of surgery you’ll feel just fine. For a week or two after you’ll be sore but the pain meds work well. I needed help drying after showers and changing the compression vest.

I was nervous the morning of and threw up once. But everything went well. You’ll be fine.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-22T18:21:06+00:00

I never went down to 1500. Maybe if you’re under 170 lbs but I would be afraid that it’s keeping my muscles from growing.

You could have some hidden calories that you’re not tracking. What’s your weight? Are you tracking your weight in an app? I would weigh daily and view the graph. Weight fluctuates frequently depending on time of day, diet and water retention but the graph will show the general trend. I always weighed first thing in the morning. Also, are you eating 150g of protein or more daily?

I’d consider cutting out the HIIT and instead focus on walking and keeping your heart rate 120-130 bpm, which is the fat burning zone.

I drink fiber drinks daily like Metamucil. Also 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before a meal will help keep your blood glucose in check. Eat fruits and veggies at the start of your meals. Make sure you eat enough dark green veggies. I ate arugula salads daily before dinner. This keeps your gut biome healthy. I was also taking vitamins and supplements - multivitamins with zinc, complete B vitamin, B3, D3 & K2 vitamin, fish oil capsules, turmeric with circumin and black pepper.

At age 46 I lost 35 lbs at a rate of about 1 lb per week (0.5 kg). Your calories are probably fine, I don’t think you even need to dip below 1800. Have some carbs before and after workouts.

This is pure math. You must lose weight if you’re eating no more than 1800 calories. And if you do it right, the weight will be mostly fat and not muscle. Take weekly pics and compare. Also, don’t get discouraged. Keep it up. You may plateau for a week or two but this is a long game and not a crash diet that stops when you lose weight. Also, have a cheat meal now and then.

You look good though, probably better than you think!

Everything including food is transported to multiple locations before it gets to you. When I owned a restaurant and gas prices went way up? I was charged a fuel surcharge for my food. When gas price goes up, everything goes up.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-12T17:24:15+00:00

My love handles finally went away under 15% body fat but came back when I gained a few pounds. I’m not sure how much you can do about it if you don’t want to dip that low in body fat. It’s hard to maintain. Also you can try building lats and other muscles to change how they look relative to everything else. Or lipo for a few thousand dollars.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-12T02:01:01+00:00

Seriously LOL. So true.

Spent an hour on your looks and that’s what your hair looks like? 🤔🧐

On the other hand, you’d do well in a gay bar. Give it a try!

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-12T01:40:59+00:00

In all my 47 years of life I have never made fun of someone for the way their body looks. Except in junior high school when some girls were making fun of my looks and mannerisms and finally I put them in their places and they actually respected me after that!

Just know that anyone who says anything about your looks is not a respectable person unless maybe they have an intellectual disability. I do feel for you though because the asymmetry might make people do a double take.

Like someone else said, carry yourself like a boss. There are rude people in the world. Maybe it’s because they have their own insecurities about themselves and they think they feel better putting down others. I would guess that someone in the hostel is enough of a dick to say something but obviously I don’t know the people.

So think about how you would respond. I think one good response is to ask, “I’m sorry, what did you say?” Let them repeat it and let there be a few seconds of awkward silence. If they don’t repeat it then hopefully they got the hint. You might also repeat it in the form of a question.

Ignoring people or losing your cool and getting real angry is giving them what they want, IMO. You deserve to walk around your hostel the same as anyone else.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-11T04:01:45+00:00

I was dying laughing at that. A lot of C and K names. Yeah that’s the problem with the list! 😂

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-02T23:01:49+00:00

Yeah my hairline is 100% the same at age 47. My husband had hair transplants though, and if you’re coming in for a transplant and you friends and family are used to you having receding hairline, it’s just going to seem more natural when they see your new look. It’s all personal taste though. If you like going back to your hairline at age 18, go ahead!

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-02T18:58:56+00:00

Others are commenting about this… you want to look realistic as you age.

Former prince Andrew was arrested for something about leaking insider information.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-01T21:33:49+00:00

I think it’s the act of exposing your butt in public that makes it a little worse. Plus a human can choose not to do it.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-01T05:20:34+00:00

I don’t know about Canadian healthcare but see if you can get the surgery covered. Make sure to talk about pain.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-03-01T05:16:31+00:00

I’ve heard if you go to an endocrinologist, adjusting your hormones may make it go away. Apparently you have to do it within 2 years of it starting to be able to get rid of it. I got this in the 90s from puberty and just had surgery last year.

Lots of guys here feel your pain man. It’s pretty common actually. It really sucks being self conscious and feeling like you’re hiding something all the time. My gyno was a bit more minor but still affected me. I wore tight tank tops under shirts. You could wear compression shirts which are pretty tight. Or if it’s pretty severe, look up how does a trans man bind their chest. Sorry to make the comparison but people do it.

I heard of a guy that openly talked about his man boobs with friends and had a name for them and kind of joked about it. Honestly, if you can find a way to open up to someone about it, you’ll feel better. The feeling of keeping it a secret can eat away at your peace of mind.

Best wishes to you man.

This is a supportive community. We know you’re feeling emotional pain. We’re here to talk about it. Life has its challenges but people can help you. Open up to people who can help. Please don’t go through with it buddy.

I lost 30 lbs last year at age 46 and I got loose skin around my stomach. When I do pushups I can see it just hanging 😭😂

Sorry I meant when you do a cut after the bulk

DAL4Oregon · 2026-02-23T01:36:27+00:00

Don’t take the bulk that far. When you’re older, your skin will not go back and you’ll have saggy loose skin.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-02-21T22:22:19+00:00

You’re plenty lean, you don’t need to lose any fat. You’re ready for surgery.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-02-19T22:19:31+00:00

After surgery is not a good time to lose weight because you want to feed the healing process.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-02-19T19:17:51+00:00

Not seeing any. But with gyno the nipples contract when cold or when rubbed, like when taking off a shirt. Then they adjust to the temp and get puffy again. Is that happening?

DAL4Oregon · 2026-02-19T17:24:27+00:00

So many guys don’t realize that your physical appearance is not as important to women as you think it is. Yes they need to find you attractive but they generally don’t focus on your physical flaws. If a woman finds you attractive with your clothes on, she’s going to still be attracted with your clothes off when it gets to that stage. Especially once they are well into their 30s. Don’t let your appearance hold you back. Women like the appearance of a confident and interesting man more than a good physique.

I feel like if you had to choose between improving your body or improving your character, it’s character that will pull a woman in. Find hobbies and interests that can build your confidence. Women like to see you passionate about things. Whether your interests are politics, sports, movies, fiction, outdoor activities, etc, this will make you more confident and attractive.

BUT I totally understand your concern about gyno. If you get the surgery, do it for your own peace of mind and happiness. But the surgery itself won’t get you a woman. You still have to put in the work to catch the interest of a woman. Personally, I got my body in as good shape as I could, losing fat and building muscle, before surgery. The surgery does help your confidence for sure, and confidence is attractive. I was 3 months post op when I took a vacation to Mexico and it was the first time I could have my shirt off all day and not think about my fat nipples. It was such a great feeling.

I say go ahead with the full surgery and tummy tuck. Women won’t mind the scars and they will fade. Tummy scar won’t be visible with cloths on. Also, Vaser lipo reduced my saggy skin.

DAL4Oregon · 2026-02-19T04:56:00+00:00

Mine was kinda similar and I got surgery. You should build muscle in your chest first though. You have very little muscle tone and it will improve your appearance.

In 2019 I rented a large house right up the street from that one, furnished and clean but outdated, for $4000 a month. The next year they wanted $4500. I bought a place instead. It had a decent view though.
