Sore Breasts



Recommended Posts

Pat - round shoulders probably, maybe before you lost weight you had a bit of fat there to hold them up. I cant keep brastraps up and I cant for the life of me carry a handbag. I always end up at the physio because I've hurt my neck hoiking my shoulder up to keep the bag on there. I have to carry handbags in my hand :-(

Jess maybe also in addition to what everyone's said above you no longer have the bulk on your upper body to distribute the weight, kwim? Its one thing carrying around a pair of heavy boobs when they rest on top of your belly and you're back is fat too but when your frame shrinks and your boobs dont, you might have trouble. I'd look for a modern feat of engineering in the bra dept to hold em up.

I never knew I had round shoulders, my mama warned me to hold these shoulders up. I'm going to order one of those things that clips the two straps together in the back in the middle, that'll fix them.

Sally, too funny.

Well, more sloping shoulders probably, not much you can do about the shape you're born with. I've got some of those bra clip things, they're fantastic.

Wow, mine has been sore for about a week, I am over a week with my late cyle and I am not pregnant. the nipples are sore. I noticed since i have my surgery my cycle has been coming a week or almost 2 weeks late each month. I had my surgery in Sept 05.

Just throwing my little B cups worth in here lol.

Firstly Jess, you probably don't want to hear this but I know a man who has had the snip twice and has a little bundle to prove the first one didn't work...

Also, ruling out bubs lol, the first thing I thought of was your bra but too much coffee would absolutely do that to me.

Good luck. Pity about the price tag OMG

Mine did the same thing JAYGERL05 (my cycle that is). My doctor attributed it to significant rapid weight loss and the trauma of surgery. I ended up having to go on the pill to get a proper schedule again. While it is a pain, it was definitely worth it for me, as I like to be exactly on time, everytime lol.

Oh dear lol, that would be horrible :/ I love my lil one dearly .. so much infact that I decided she was all I need lol.

I have been drinking coffee more regularly lately. I had stopped for a month or so, just cause I was too restricted in the morning to drink it, but as my restriction decreased, I started on the java again. Perhaps I should test giving it up for a week or so.

Thanks :)

      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.
