Since the beginning of pre op diet I have lost 7 inches in chest. Now I know some of it has to be back inches because I haven't needed a smaller cup size yet. But darn it. I don't want to lose my booby babies. How can I work out that area or keep them from shrinking?

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do. If they're going to shrink, they're going to shrink.

You lose weight from the top down... It's just the unfair Mother nature reminding us she is in control....LOL. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Our breasts are made up of mostly fat so it's why they shrink. Sorry for the news.

I wish that was true for everyone. I've gone from size 22 pants to size 8 - but only from a 3x to an xl on top. When I was fitted for my wedding dress over a year ago, they measured me for a size 16 on top and a 4 on bottom. I've lost over 100 lbs and only lost on top from 44DD to a 40D. I definately have a harder time losing on top. Makes me look like a marshmallow being held up by 2 toothpicks!

mother nature blessed you evidentially. I was always a B cup... Just a 44b.... Now I am a 34 b but of course the girls are quite deflated. But I am looking into those options.

Were you always larger on top? I mean as a young girl?

Well, you can always get pregnant and then the girls will grow!!! : )

OH LAWD, thats would not be unlike killing a mosquito w/ an ak-47! Pregos! Lawd have mercy!! I feel faint jist thinkin bout it.

Good one Sandy!!!!

Save the TATA's.... I would love to have lost a cup size I am still a DD and an XL top gaps at the buttons no back fat I am 4 inches smaller around but I am so tired of lugging these puppies around.. WOULD GLADLY SHARE....

I would gladly donate!

I could donate as well. I have gone down in band size from 40 to 34, but still DD. Granted a portion of that is the left over skin! LOL! You will do fine as the rest of your body catches up, it will look proportioned.

Yes, I'm from a Swedish family - always bigger on top than bottom. Makes for a hard time finding pajamas that fit! I have to mix and match (a med pants and xl top). FYI: The Hanes/Playtex outlet won't let you do it. They check the sizes to make sure they match upon checkout. Oops.

i bet it does.... Lol I have the opposite trouble... I am a 4/6 on top and 8/10 on the bottom.

No matter how many diets I've been on and how much weight I've lost (or gained) my boobs have always stayed the same. The ONLY time they get bigger is when I get pregnant. I'm so lucky that I nursed for 18 months and they didn't shrink
