keep your chin up! I am also looking to be a "slow loser". I am 3 weeks out and I've only lost 4. At that rate I'll be at about 8 or 9 by the time I'm at 7 weeks. I wish I had words of wisdom or something to say to make it better but I don't. I'm a bit disappointed with my lack of loss so I now how you feel. Just know that you aren't the only "slow loser". Maybe this will be better for us this way--maybe our skin will have time to shrink with us losing slower. Maybe we won't lose our hair as much. there has to be some hidden blessing!

I feel the same. I feltl like i was able to gobble down a lot of Water 1st week out. I even asked myself the same question. I didnt feel any pain or discomfort at all. Everyone will react differently. Currently 1month & 1wk out and i can finish 16oz water bottle in about 30mins.

WElcome to the club. I am the president, vice president, secretary AND treasurer of the "can't drink all my liquids" club. All you can do is try. Don't forget to count the liquids in Protein drinks, juices, etc... they all count for 'fluid' intake. Your capacity to take in fluids will continue to increase. You'll get there. Maybe I will too.

I'm actually happy at the prospect of losing some of my boob size! I've always been big and it has caused a lot of problems for me! I don't love the fact that they will probably end up long and saggy. I so want to wear those cute sundresses or tank tops with built in bras! I refuse to have plastic surgery after this. everyone says the plastic surgery is worse than the sleeve procedure. I am only 6 days out from my sleeve and still uncomfortable. I'm sure I'll NEVER consider another surgery! LOL

I'm 5days out and I'm healing well too. I'm actually concerned that I can eat too much. I had a cup of cream Soup with no issues. I've also tolerated a 6oz yogart with no issues. I'm actually starting to get hungry. I've had no issues getting in my protien because I sip on 2 Isopure drinks a day. My friend said not to worry it will change when I get to more solid foods that these are sliders and easier to tolerate. I'm just worried at this rate I'll never loose

I started out somewhere between a 40g in sports bras and 40-42k in goddess everyday bras. Today I wear. 36j in everyday bras and 36g in wacoal underwire sports bras. My girls have been with me since I was 10--I missed the whole training bra stage. They aren't going anywhere.
I just got fitted for the wacoal sports bra this weekend. I pay good money to lock and load these girls.

Well I am one of those people who has always had large boobs... as a child I actually went straight into a B cup at my first bra fitting... I eventually grew into a DDD cup. I have lost some, but I still fill out a DD. My current bra (after 100 lbs) is a 36 DD (though my band size is getting loose, I know I need to go down to a 34). However, I have lost lift Which kinda sucks. I have a feeling that down the road I'll want a lift, but I don't think i'll ever need implants. I think it truly depends on the person.
I will say though, that it is soooo worth it! I would much rather have flabby boobs and a more normal body then be overweight with big boobs.

I was a 40G prior to surgery and now I am a 36G. I am only 5 pounds from my goal, so I'm guessing they are here to stay. Not to mention they must have been the only thing on my old body that wasn't FAT!
Oh well...I have always like mine. I was hoping not to lose too much.

I'd just sent you a PM. My sleeve surgery is next week with Dr. Hoehn. He also did my lap-band in 2006, and removal last year (and gallbladder in 2007). I'm always curious to see who people in my area are using.

I suppose it depends on your age, but I am 58; and my boobs were a 40 D and now they are a 36C. They look great in a bra and I love wearing beautiful sexy bras now; and I can show a little cleavage and wear cute dresses (I even wore a strapless dress (which you can see on my about me page on my blog link below). But the honest truth is, without a bra they're pointing south! Still, clothes fit SO much better and I am so happy to not have huge fleshy boobs any more. I'm not sure they'll ever be firm but I'm doing my strength training exercises every day in hopes that will help.

A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF A SLEEVER; UPDATED EVERY SUNDAY

I think it goes to past experience. My first 20 lbs ALWAYS comes out of my boobs. I always return to my smaller bra sizes. (Well- c cups) Everyone is different though. If you came out of puberty with huge boobs, then they may stick around. Just keep em hoisted up so you don't bruise them with your knees. HAHAHAHA just kidding....a little humor..... (you may not be old enough to worry about that.

I'm completely worried about this too! My dr says expect to lose 3/4 of what I have! YIKES!!!!
My bf had pretty big boobs now.... Well long flat pancakes is hOw she describes them. she's now wearing VS Water bras:(
My dr's office has a plastic surgeon and a visit with him for a breast lift and timmy tuck was part of my consultation.
I can't imagine going through surgery again (even after a years wait) after all the pain I had from this one, but in a years time as my body changes I might change my mind as I know I'll miss my boobs!
I'd love to see the feedback u get from people a year or more out.
Good luck to you.

I was a 40D, I have been sleeved for about a year and a few weeks now... a sad 36 C and I still have more weight to loose!

i am 3 days post op and mine does that too! I thought we wouldn't be experiencing those rumblies after being sleeved! Does anyone get chest pain sometimes after sipping? I get some chest pain frequently and it scares the poop out of me! how many ounces of liquid is everyone getting in? I"m struggling to get in 40....
