Slight scare all good tho

Melon64:
What munchies says is true, you can always regain.
The sucky thing with hernias is that you dont have many options ( like no meds for it really).
So its either losing weight and surgery or using some contraption/band/belt like thing to push it in and keep it from pushing out
Good luck


I wouldn't try to force a rib hernia back in place. One wrong move, and now you have a punctured lung.

Slight scare all good tho

Morbidly A Beast:
I have always had some pain in mid side for along while it comes and goes but over the weekend It was extremely painful and I felt a lump I’ve never noticed before I can’t see it or anything only feel it so i got an appointment. I went to the doctor today turns out I have a rib cage cartilage hernia and because of my weight and the obvious issue of my large amounts of fat they want me to lose weight so they can get in and fix it, and while I get it to an extent is that really there only option? just wanted to vent a little because I just feel like this is turning point for me.


I'm sorry you are going through this. I imagine it to be quite painful.

Hernias are no joke, and ignoring it will cause all manner of complications. I know weight loss sucks, but think of it this way. You are losing weight now so you can be comfortable later. And you can always regain the weight once you are better.

Wanting a rounder belly

Faaaat:
What can I do to get a rounder belly? I love my belly hang but I look so flat. Like is there any way to get my belly to go more to the front? Like maybe slow gaining vs quick gaining or something?


Please understand that I say this with love, but your belly is not flat in the front. Idk if you have some kind of dysmorphia, but you are not perceiving your body as it is.

Does anyone use ff's live stream?

Beachside Farmer:
Swore it isn't up yet


I think it is up, seeing that you can start or schedule a stream. However, it's in Beta, so it's probably buggy.

Online security

Funwithcustard:
I had reason to do a general web search on my username recently - in the results of the search engine, came up a post that I had written on Fantasy Feeder a good number of years ago - it is there for anyone to read, even if they are not a member of Fantasy Feeder.

I don't know what other people's feelings are, but this seems quite a security risk to me.

I thought that search engines would not be able to crawl pages that you would not normally be able to see without a login?


You don't need an account to access the forums, although you do need one to access certain site areas or to post. The forums are open to the public.

Do you just appreciate the community?

Enas:
Would i be a Trump apologist for saying that Trump was not the facilitator of all this crazyness?


Yes, actually. You would be.

I'm all for acknowledging system issues, but you cannot ignore the impact of individuals. Focusing on one over the other is, as you like to say, illogical and stupid.

Take FF, for example. This place used to be rife with lots of bigots. Misogynists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, and more. Lotta fucked shit. It was very systematized. This is not to say FF condoned the behavior per se, but seeing that the site owner is an older white British man, there were a lot of blind spots.

You know what changed it? Individual members confronting other individual members. Some changed, some left, and some stopped posting gross things as much. And as people grew unified in standing up for the vulnerable, the system changed.

And this is why you specifically are getting the pushback you are getting. Focusing on systemic issues while overlooking individual actions exonerates the individuals (even if that's not what you meant to do) and strengthens the system. In your efforts to play "enlightened scholar," you are propping up a system that FF as a whole is trying to leave behind.

Does anyone use ff's live stream?

I am deathly curious. I won't start a livestream for obvious reasons, but I wonder if anyone else has attempted to use it.

I've clicked on the livestream option on the site menu several times out of curiosity, but I never see anything there.

And if you have used it, what's it like?

Kitsune:
[…] I just have a preference for websites that have a smaller userbase and traditional UI that isn't inspired by the current social media/Corporate Memphis style.

Just from my personal experience I have many stories to tell regarding bad memories on Fantasy Feeder. I won't deny I had bad memories on Dims too but most of them happened on here. Someday I write a DM about them to you and Arame.

Edit: I am not ashamed to admit FF's UI is bad.

Jiggle Junkie:
Curious what you dislike about FF’s UI. Not all aspects are as i would design things, but i mostly like the way it works. I especially like that it works with my older WWW browser and (Mac) OS. Indeed, when Apple locked me out of any of my current equipment and forced me back onto a 2005(!) Mac with a 2010 macOS, FF still worked but many other sites didn’t.

Haven’t been on Dimensions since 2022 or maybe briefly in 2023, before the paywall, so don’t know how things are there now UI-wise. XenForo is popular and somewhat of a de-facto standard, but i found it very much of a hassle to post stories. (Had issues with stories here too, but different: insufficient formatting options.)

Personally i’ve had more human interaction problems on Dimensions than Fantasy Feeder, but also Excellent Experiences on both. Now that i’m in a life pattern where i only dip into the community once in awhile for a few hours or maybe a few days, being on a very limited budget it’s not worth it to me to pay for Dimensions. I remain very grateful that so far FF is able to provide as much as it does to folks like me for free.


Oh wow, I ain't seen you in a minute. I hope everything is going well for you.

Self-pleasure using toys with a larger body (advice)

BigBoyGinger:
Sorry if this isn't the location for this topic.

If you have trouble reaching your genitalia during self-pleasure there are many great toy options that can make things easier and more fun. Hoping to spread some knowledge from my own training and education since this stuff isn't often talked about for fat bodies.

Wands - Pretty obvious one, having a long handle with heavy vibration at the end can offer many great sensory options. There are several brands that offer Wands with a curved handle which is perfect for reaching around your belly.

Controller toys - We've got variety here. From anal/prostate play to panty vibes to hands-free vibes. All of these categories offer products that can be controlled from an included remote or even an app on your phone. Big recommendation here is We-Vibe. They offer all of these toy categories which can be controlled from a single app. Big selling point here is that you can sync multiple toys under the same vibrations.

Straddling vibes - If you enjoy the feeling of straddling, but don't always want the feeling of insertion then you're in luck. Multiple companies are offering heavy duty straddling pads of varying heights and grooves. Strong vibrations, often with multiple motors inside each peak.

"Fuck machines" - This refers to any toys that offer self-propelling thrusting. This could be something handheld or a full 4-armed rig. A recommendation from me based off of what I've seen is it's better to purchase one that has a suction pad. The ones with a built in dildo will often bend at the connector when meeting any resistance which is often the case with larger thighs. The suction pad makes it much more versatile too! You can attach any dildos or vibrators with a suction base, and you can even attach masturbators with a suction base.

Have some good clean fun out there smiley


I'd also take a look at disability-friendly sex toys. You'd be shocked by how many options there are for various things.

I've even seen some dildo extension handles of varying lengths to use with pre-existing toys. So, if there's a toy you love, you may not have to give it up when you reach a certain size.

Calories per dollar: the new gaining meta for these trying times

Reonis:
From Costco:

50lbs of lard is $51.39
50lbs of flour is $18.09

ignoring price of membership, that's $69.48 for 570,000 calories, or 8204 calories per dollar for 100 lbs of roux.

of course calories per dollar goes down when you add it to mac and cheese and chowders and gravies or whatever you want but i'd like to think it's a good starting point.

Let's not go crazy with lard for weight gain. Too much fat will make you shit violently and uncontrollably. And most lard has been hydrogenated to make it shelf stable. So it loses the health benefits that you'd get with homemade lard.

The most important part of getting fat is sustainable gaining. Seems a bit of a waist to gain all that weight only to lose it later for health reasons.
