I totally understand exercise being a coping mechanism for anxiety/depression. When I’m running, it’s basically like meditation for me. Stay positive and take it easy...it’ll be worth it! Once you’re fully healed, you’ll feel better than ever!
Cody_talks yes! I have a hard time sitting still. My mind goes wild lol. So when I run, it takes all focus off of my thoughts and forces me to pay full attention to my body and respond to accordingly. I used to always say I hated cardio, then I quit smoking and realized how therapeutic it is to run.
Hang in there, Cody! You're doing awesome. Sorry you have to take it easy for a few more weeks, that sucks. I just had top surgery yesterday, so I'll be taking it easy right along with you. If you have any Netflix recommendations let me know lol
I hope the stricture does not return and that you are finally all healed up. I know how anxiety can take over and runs away with your sanity at times. You can do this! Soon you'll be able to work out and get everything back to how you want it to be.
I know what you’re going through sucks atm but think of it in bodybuilding terms, these are the hardships you’re going through to reach your goals. You’ll get there, it’s just gonna take time and work. Keep the faith, man.
Yeah...time flies..next thing you know you'll be a year post op phalloplasty and you will barely remember all the struggles...haha. Thanks for keeping us informed cody!!! We appreciate it
Are you still okay with talking about just before 2:50 ? I'm not sure if you already addressed this topic sorry if you've already responded to this question. Glad to hear you're well. Can't wait so see what's to come. Take care of yourself.
What other tweaks are you looking to do? I'm thinking of some very minor revisions too... would be awesome to talk about it (if we want the same revisions)
@@aboja3far904 well right after my surgery I expected to be hurting a lot but i was drugged so heavily i felt nothing. The worse part was my first week at home. Wearing the catheter was uncomfortable and took time to get used to. But it got better. After it was removed it stung for a while and that was the possibly the strangest urinating i ever felt(the day it was removed), but holy smokes is it worth the 3.5 weeks. My quality of life is soooo much better.
@@deeaay9129 thankfully the stricture hasn’t come back so im feeling fantastic! No more pain. Although one thing i deal with now is after urinating some of my urine gets caught in the part of urethra that was transplanted. So i kinda have to squeeze it out or wait for it to leak out on its own. Its not too big a deal for me considering how horrid i felt pre-op
Hey Cody, does the Dr think maybe scar tissue could be developing? Fa chrise sakes, wth else can happen to you? Have you considered post op therapy with a psychologist or therapist?
Aesthetic tweaks? Now you gotta tell us! ? Have you ever tried mindfulness meditation, it helped me with pain management & anxiety, it's something I use daily.
I've had this op 3 weeks ago but after the catheter came out I found my muscle is very week and I keep urine. When I pee I try and hold it in and fail is this normal.
is it painful if you are intimate after this surgery? say that you get a penile stricture repaired would the scar tissue casued by surgery cause pain whilst having being intimate with a partner?
I'm depress because my cases is the Stricture of my urethra, 1month and 2weeks after surgery urethraplasty, remove the Catiter but after 1week observation my urethra from 14 size the Catiter not enter to my urethra, so means the scars is developing after removed the Catiter :-( so deside my doctor use the small size Catiter but 10 size used and enter my urethra, im depressed now how long this my situation :-(
Hey Cody hope all is well. I’m one week in from surgery got a catheter for 3 weeks. Recovery is going good. Just curious how your doing did it come back? I’m hoping this takes care of mine.
Tweaks? I'm curious as to what you mean since I'll be going through what you've gone through so far (phallo and testicular implants) in the future. You should make a video if you feel comfortable Cody. :) Something I noticed. In your thumbnails, you ALWAYS have the same expression; a look of concern. It makes me nervous to watch your videos because the thumbnails always make me think something bad is gonna be talked about. I think you should smile more! That way, someone can slide in them dm's on insta more. Lmao. You know what I'm trying to say. Love you much Cody and prayers always to your mum and you.

Im getting a buccal urethroplasty in 3 days and i have never been more scared in my life tbh. Im hoping i wont be in a lot of pain .
How was your experience, please?

@@deeaay9129 and no it hasn’t affected other parts of my body.
Hey Cody I would definitely like to know what other cosmetic changes you were going to talk about?
Hey! So, for sure email me at: coachcodyharman@gmail.com Feels a little safer there haha.
Hey Cody, does the Dr think maybe scar tissue could be developing? Fa chrise sakes, wth else can happen to you? Have you considered post op therapy with a psychologist or therapist?
Yes scar tissue could be beginning to form unfortunately.. so I guess time will tell if it starts getting worse. I am also going to therapy too yes :)
Cody was it scare tissue redeveloping again? I'm two day out from my urethralplasty surgery.
Aesthetic tweaks? Now you gotta tell us!
? Have you ever tried mindfulness meditation, it helped me with pain management & anxiety, it's something I use daily.
haha maybe I will do another squidward drawing. And I have tried meditation a bit but I can never focus lol
Cody_talks your mind is too active at the moment to try mindful meditation try square breathing first and move on to mindfulness the meditation
How you got stricture ,and what is it's location,plzz share.
I've had this op 3 weeks ago but after the catheter came out I found my muscle is very week and I keep urine.
When I pee I try and hold it in and fail is this normal.
How are you now plz?
@@deeaay9129 all good no problems at all.
is it painful if you are intimate after this surgery? say that you get a penile stricture repaired would the scar tissue casued by surgery cause pain whilst having being intimate with a partner?
For me it wasn’t painful at all but i also waited a couple weeks after getting the caterer removed at the request of my doctor.
OMG! Great minds think alike :) I made a patreon page today too! I'm gonna go check yours out right now! Hope you have a good weekend.
haha thats so funny! I am going to go check yours out now!
Hi Cody talks, cant I ask you after romove your Catiter what you feel how about the scars of your urethra?
I'm depress because my cases is the Stricture of my urethra, 1month and 2weeks after surgery urethraplasty, remove the Catiter but after 1week observation my urethra from 14 size the Catiter not enter to my urethra, so means the scars is developing after removed the Catiter :-( so deside my doctor use the small size Catiter but 10 size used and enter my urethra, im depressed now how long this my situation :-(
What's the song in the video?
Hii man you are doing a great job👍👍,,
When you start T do you get to pick where you inject it or does the Dr choose
You can pick depending on if you are doing IM injections or SubQ I use my thigh but some people prefer to use the glute :)
Hey Cody hope all is well. I’m one week in from surgery got a catheter for 3 weeks. Recovery is going good. Just curious how your doing did it come back? I’m hoping this takes care of mine.
How Re you now pl??
I’ve been watching your videos since your electrolysis sessions but I’m still none the wiser....wtf is a stricture?!
It is a build up of scar tissue in my urethra that blogs the flow of urine. :)
Tweaks? I'm curious as to what you mean since I'll be going through what you've gone through so far (phallo and testicular implants) in the future.
