Hello ladies,

Hope this question is not too intrusive, but I gotta at least ask. Maybe someone will be brave and answer B)

Got a question about "the girls." Just wondering if they will shrink. I have tried many, many diets over the years, of course never losing enough significant weight for the girls to shrink.

I am only looking to drop maybe one cup size. Just wondering what has been some of your experiences ?

Thanks, T

If your experience is anything like mine they get less full because there won't be as much fatty tissue. At my age with more than a hundred pound loss that means that they're not as full on the top half of the breast. This will happen alot of places in your body as you lose the fat content in your tissue.

Best wishes to you.

I have read on this forum that a number of people have gone down in cup size.

Here's my experience ... I have gone from a size 26 to a size 14/16. The "girls", while noticeably smaller, are still DDD cup! I am 5'8" with long legs. The FIRST place I lose weight is in my legs and hips. I bought a pair of "jeggings" a few weeks ago that are now just "skinny jeans" because they no longer hug my legs! The upper part of my body is a different story. When I started this journey I was wearing a 46DDD bra. A friend gave me a bunch of bras (prior to surgery) that are size 44DD. I have one of them on today. They are a little big around ... but THE GIRLS ARE STILL FALLING OUT OF THE CUPS!!! LOL! I have been "adjusting" them all day long! I bought a bra on Sunday, size 44DDD. It doesn't fit right (it's the "Butterfly" bra), but the girls don't fall out! I am in a full out battle with the fat on my torso, currently I am winning. YAY! But, the girls, they are holding on for dear life.

All the best to you on your journey!

I am only a month post-op and have lost 38 lbs. I have had to tighten my bra (around) as tight as it will go where it was as loose as it would go. I haven't noticed much difference in the cup area yet. My feelings are that my girls are going to go south!! I see a breast reduction in my future because I don't want to have the pick the girls up off the floor!! :P

I am not sure what mine are going to do, I really hope they shrink. I already need a lift, have for as long as I can remember and I am only 28. It has been my plan to get them done when I lose the weight. (hopefully I will be able to afford it when the time comes). Or start planning on complaining of back pain to try and get insurance to cover some of it

Well the back size will get smaller on your bra. Not sure about the actual boobs. Mine are small but they get kinda swallowed up because I'm so big (i'm bottom heavy so no big boobs here). I hope they are more pronounced and look more proportional when I lose weight haha. laugh.gif

They're smaller (and more comfortable), but so is my waist. I think, ultimately, I will have the same proportions. Just thinner. My husband (jokingly) warned me before surgery: Don't lose that ass! But he is pleased with the results so far.

For me, the boobs are the first thing to go. I had big saggy boobs, and now with 108 pounds lost, I have smaller saggy boobs. I went from a 42DD to a 36 C+. The + (plus) is because I'm smaller than a D, but buldge out of the Cs.

The nice thing is that the ribcage area and waist get smaller, so the smaller boobs are ok.

With a little over 40 lbs down....my girls are definitely deflated. Not that they would have been described as perky in the last 15 years or so.......

I would love to get a boob job when I am done but I figure a good bra at victoria secret will accomplish the same thing.....I will spend my money on getting a panniculectomy first!

I have needed a panniculectomy since my 13 year old was born! So, I would really like to get one after all of my weight is gone. I'm just scared of the pain involved!

I'm sure ya'll want to hear this :), but I started at DD cup size. I went shopping for new bras Monday, and they measured me a D. I tried the bra on, and it was too small so I had to stick with a DD, which is fine with me ;). I have lost 76 pounds and haven't went down a cup size just the band size.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
