Breat Size



Recommended Posts

Okay so I am 20 years old, 249 lbs, and 44 DD. I am getting banded february 25, 2010.

I was just curious whats going to happen to my breasts after I lose all my weight. I like having large breasts, I just dont want to have saggy breasts or lose all the weight and my breasts totally shrink.

Do yall know from experience?

Thanks

It kind of depends why they are big. Some people will always have big breasts even when they're tiny everywhere else and others are only a DD because they're carrying way too much fat there, just like everywhere else on their body.

I shrunk to a 12D from an 18E or so, but I guess I like smaller breasts. At 5ft 10, a D on me is quite "small", my bustline is not something you'd really notice about me. I like that clothes hang well, I like that I fit in bikini tops and I like that a lot of the awful sag I had is actually gone. My boobs have been through six years of feeding babies and a large weight loss, so they're not exactly pert, but my nipples now actually face forward and not down. I like the thin, small breasted look so for me, shrinking was a change to Celebrate.

i am going to be excited for when that happens to me!

Ya I am okay with them shrinking some. I want my top to be proportionate to the rest of my body. I just dont want to feel the need to get any augmentations, lift or enlargement.

i think losing the weight will make me more confident and hopefully i wont be concerned about that.

thanks!

I lost 9.5 inches from my bust in about 50 lbs. For a while I felt super saggy and was really unhappy. They just don't seem so droopy anymore, I don't know if it was the skin adjusting or what, but they're better. Of course, 100 more lbs and who knows what they'll look like! Don't get discouraged if you don't love the way things look while your body is changing. Think of it as contents settling during the journey.

So far I have gone from a 48DD to a 42C. I am not real happy about it. My breast are saggy and when I lay down they go to my sides! UGH! When I am closer to my goal I think I will have either a lift or augmentation. At least that is what my husband and I think....um....

I think everyone is different, but your age may have a little to do with the sagginess. I started at 44DDD now I am a 40G. My actual breasts didn't go down, but the band size did, but the cup size went up.

dont forget to exfoliate and moisturise yourself. also, get properly fitted for bras now, and also when you notice your boobs arent fitting in your bra anymore. keep them hoiked up nice and high.sports bras are good for this.. bad bras can stretch the fibres underneath the skin =saggy boobs.

My breast size also didn't go down, but my band size did. I went from a 48DDD to a 32 F. Very weird. My boobs are a bit saggy and I prob will get a lift at some point.

I'm with crzytchr and kkarryall...I've only lost 60 pounds but I've gone from a 44DD to a 40G or H depending on the style of the bra. However, I was a D cup in middle school, so I knew mine wouldn't go anywhere. Mine have never been perky, and I know they won't be when I lose 80-some more pounds, so I expect to have a reduction and lift when I am at goal. I want to be proportionate.

Howdy! I thought I was the only one having "issues" with my breasts. I was told that when you lose a significant amount of weight (50+ lbs), you will really notice a decrease in your bustline. I've lost almost 70lbs since 6/8/09 and have gone from a 44D to a 40DD. I was seriously concerned what size my breasts would be if I lost another 75lbs! :rolleyes2: I'm hoping to end up around a 36-38D and around 175lbs. I'm almost 5'10 w/ a broad build. I think I will look great at this size! Sorry, if that sounds a bit stuck on myself, but I am really working to see myself in a more positive light.

PS~ I had a NSV 2 days ago. I had to get a guard for my ring. I almost threw it away while washing my hands after using the restroom at a restaurant. :thumbup:

The smallest I have ever been is 34 DD and the largest is 38 DDD last year when I had my surgery. I am currently a 36 DD - I'm okay with it. I think, at least for me, I tend to lose weight in my face and boobs, rib cage area, upper body fastest so I guess it depends on your body type. Whatever, I don't care...just want to lose it. If I need new ones or some reshaping I will deal with it later. :-0 Good luck and hang in there!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
