Oh boy, tee hee

I am most definitely still a work in progress.

Just went to buy new bras today, its actually harder than it was previously.

I've gone down a back size, but my bazoongas havent shrunk which means to go down a back size I had to go up a cup size. I'm now a 16E as opposed to the 20DD I was when I started (had a couple of old 18DD's lying round).

Its VERY difficult to find a bra in a large cup size but relatively small back size.

Not only that but I went in the disabled change room becuase I had my daughter in the pusher with me, and I got to view myself full length from a good 2 to 3 metres away. :faint: Um, what was I thinking? I've been swanning round feeling fantabulously hot, lol. Nuh uh, no way. Still loads of work to do on this old bod. Those love handles and back boobs are still there, just smaller.

And I'm definitely certain I'm having a breast lift and reduction, maybe even before I get all the way to goal, say at about 80kg. They are a disaster, mammoth sized and soooooo droopy and saggy, they look worse than half the before pics you see.

But boy do they look good in brand new bra's. I cant see my feet, they look like two cantaloups sitting on my chest!

Hahahaha, dont you just love those fitting room mirrors. They give me a complex. Wow with that size breast I think the reduction would be covered, it would have to cause backpain and problems later on.

I walk around feeling all svelt too -- and then I see myself in the mirror and I'm still large!! Duh -- I weigh over 200lbs -- that's NOT petite!!! You know what though, it's relative to the size we used to be, and dang it, we've worked hard and should feel good! You know what E cup today is D cup in a few months, that's what I say!!!! Enjoy your success and just let it keep inspiring you!

Jacqui,

LMBO... where else can you talk about 'bazoongas' and people completely understand?!

MY bazoongas look like cantelopes IN a bra, but take the bra off and they drop into tube socks. What a before and after shot THIS would be!

And Im too chicken for BR, so... my chances of ever going braless are NEVER.

Even though the store mirror's showed some flaws, just remember...

You may not be where you want to be.

But *THANK GOD* you are NOT where you used to be! :clap2: :clap2:

Yeah those dressing room mirrors can make you laugh and cry. They tell the truth so we have to listen. I normally end up saying to myself "what were you thinking" yes sometimes go straight home sniviling in the car.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
