Lost My Tatas



Recommended Posts

Are you losing the weight from everywhere? This is one of my concerns in having the surgery.

You most likely will Lose from the top down....just like how gravity works. First people noticed in my face... Then the mid section and finally below the waist. As for the "girls"... They went from 44c to 34 very padded B only because they hang so low I cannot cram them into an A... But they measure an A! That is the one surgery I am considering actually because it bothers me so much!

You will naturally lose the opposite of how you gain. If you gain in your butt & thighs first then hat is the last place it will go away. If you gain in the belly area first(like most of us guys, then that little pot belly will hang around to the bitter end. If gaining weight had minimal effect on your breast size the losing will also , however the opposite is also true.

One thing that seems to ring true for most everybody is you'll notice the loss first in your extremities(hands, feet, & face).

BTW, Floidays, I have to say, you look great.

I've lost almost 50 pounds, and I've gone from a DD or DDD to a D. :(

Good bras are so expensive, but I just can't bring myself to wear an inferior bra that gives me cone-boob.

My boobs hang straight down. Although they are getting smaller, when I've lost all my excess weight I think I'm going to go get uplift surgery just to remove all the excess skin on my breasts. I don't really care what size they are, in a way I'd like to convince a doctor to totally remove them, not a complete mastectomy(sp?) but so small I wouldn't need a bra at all, since they aren't needed at all in my case. I'm asexual and do not have children and have no desire to have children. But I doubt a doctor would go for that.

I have gone from a 52 d to a 36 c and that's getting loose. I don't feel sad about it though only the loose skin that bothers me the gals just aren't as perky as they used to be :(

Grass is probably always greener but I have giant tatas and I've notices they're significantly smaller and I'm thrilled. I was planning on having breast reduction next year but I'm wondering if I'm even going to have to now. For me this is great - id gladly trade places with you if I could!!

Lol....my thought exactly. I have some pretty big boobs too so I wouldn't mind a little gone. My hubby on the other hand is in denial that they will change. He wants them to stay, but I hate to tell him...they're already on their way out...Lmbo!

Are you losing the weight from everywhere? This is one of my concerns in having the surgery.

Most of my weight is in my belly and boobs. Havent had surgery yet, scheduled for sept 19th. Just hoping to lose weight in these areas mostly. Is there certain exercises I can do to help with theses areas?

I really don't think exercise can spot treat fat. You can build muscle but taking the fat off happens in its own way.

Laura - I had a reduction when I turned 18, went from a 40DD to a full C. After having the surgery, I don't need to wear a bra if I don't want to. My boobs were super saggy before and now they're perfectly in place whether I have a bra on or not. Maybe getting a reduction or lift, and removing excess skin, will keep them in place without them going completely away (unless you want them all the way gone).

I had implants before I gained my last 50 lbs. So they will still be there when the fat melts away. Hoping I don't need a lift!

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
