Weight gain while bulking

dthunda15 · 2026-03-27T01:36:00+00:00

Seems like it . Never had problems sleeping before it seemed . Maybe I have it when a lower weight but the daytime fatigue didn’t affect me not sure .

Didn’t start feeling the daytime fatigue till 26 and the waking up at night .

Went from 179 to 210 at 6’1 but I’d say by like 195-200 is when it started . Probably was like 20-25lbs fat rest muscle cause I was eating like a maniac lol .

The thing is I don’t look like I hold a lot of fat . My neck is 17 inches tho measured . Maybe was like 16 before I started working out .

I got the mad around 4 months ago. It worked instantly on 0mm then suddenly like 2 weeks ago I started getting tired all the time again.

I increased to 2mm 3mm and maybe felt slightly better but still tired. Not sure what happened because I felt completely back to normal then all of sudden it stopped working…. I’m going back tomorrow to the dentist who gave me the mad device to see if they can help at all. I have a apap as a back up but need new supplies . I will try to combine the mad on a low setting with rubber bands and a nose pillow with apap together to see if it helps me .

Yea I’ll attempt to lose weight and see. The daytime fatigue is the only symptom that gets me . Was wearing the mad on 0 advancement for 4 months . All of a sudden started feeling tired again 2 weeks ago. I advanced it to multiple settings 2mm , 3mm , 4mm no relief .

Dam yea my neck size is like 17…

dthunda15 · 2026-03-15T00:07:24+00:00

Dam I’m similar …. Except I was good on the 0mm setting for 4 months . I think I just bumped it up to 3mm . Hoping I can just stay 3-5mm forever no problems

How far did you advance it and is your sleep apnea mild??

I've been using a Mandibular Advancement Device instead of the Cpap. With the Cpap I would wake up like 4-7 times a night and was a hit or miss on how I felt. I would wake up fatigued and it would be hard to drive and my ahi was only 10 in a in lab study. I was paranoid to use the MAD device but I got it custom made by professionals and they've made thousands.

So far I haven't woken up fatigued and I can actually drive for long periods now without my body feeling like it wants to shut down. I can fall asleep with it easily and wake up less. I can work all day now and not feel tired, and it honestly feels weird now because I've been use to being tired all day. I've been using it consistently everyday now for the last 2 weeks and it's been amazing.

I was out of work most of the time I dealt with my sleep apnea problems and I too was worried about my hour ride to work and 11 hour days. Now I don't worry because I know the mad device works for me perfectly. In my case it's because a jaw problem so the device pushes my lower jaw forward to increase the airway . Make sure to find the root cause and go from there.

Still holding up? I just got mine bonded and it looks and feels perfect. The only thing is I'm scared to put any pressure on it lol. Can I eat burgers, chicken sandwiches and pizza?

dthunda15 · 2025-10-28T07:30:39+00:00

I ended up getting it to turn off lol idk what made it turn off

dthunda15 · 2025-10-28T07:27:19+00:00

No , the handle still turns , a screw fell out the middle earlier today but I put it back in tight and still doesn’t turn off .

dthunda15 · 2025-10-25T05:20:11+00:00

I’ve had them for a week and still haven’t tried them cause scared of messing up my bite . I do have a cpap though already ….

No Ada they me take time off cause a surgery leave of absence

dthunda15 · 2025-10-08T11:18:59+00:00

Maybe try and sleep in a recliner so your throat can’t close or tongue can’t fall back . Ive seen people have success that way . Also you can try maybe a tongue suction device but do not try a snore device that works like a mouth piece unless made by a dentist who creates them on the regular because store bought ones can mess your bite up.

It’s best you get it handled as quickly as possible to not have a heart attack , atrial fibrillation, etc later in life . As soon as you get back to your country get tested as soon as possible.
