Boob question



Recommended Posts

Just wondering how much everyone's girls shrank. I'm currently a 38DD, and hoping to at least stay a full C, like I was when I was skinny. Wondering how everyone's results were. Thanks.

tounge_smile.gifMine are goiiiiiiing, I was a C cup before gaining then DD now I am in a D and regardless of whether there is a cup left I already don't like the fact they are not looking up at the sky so will have to do something about that cause deflated boobs tend to look wrinkled. Something has got to give I guess! My butt is still going strong it will take awhile I am sure lots of fat to burn off. You look very young so you might not have any issues at all.

Going, going, gone ... I was a nice 38 full C cup prior to surgery. I use VERY padded bras these days, but really doubt I could fill a 34B with just what I have.

I have been thinking seriously about surgery, but I don't think I'm mentally ready for another surgery right now. Since I have virtually no cleavage left & what I do have looks low when they are not placed just right, I'm looking at other options. My husband says he is content with what I have & the rest of me is "smokin' hot" so I'm trying not to mind as much.

Anyone know where to purchase silicone pads (or somthing similiar) to add into a bra? I'm wondering if that might help the "illusion" I'm trying to create in my now small tops. B)

Dillards has nice inserts so does VS, make sure you try it on before you leave and ask them to teach you how to place them in the bra(there is a technique to it). They are light brown and feel like implants, there are also bras that already have them inside the cup, you can get them a Kohls inexpensive and to be honest I like not having to fuss with inserts, another thing is inserts can be lost especially in the heat of the moment.tongue.gif

My boobs seem to disappear more and more every single day. I just bought two bras from Kohls barely a month or so ago. Pre surgery I was a 40D. My bras I bought were 36D. When I was putting one on today I had to go to the very last (or is it the first?) hook to make it as small as I could. Also my boobs are having way too much room to move again now. *sigh*. I think I'm gonna need to hit up Kohls again soon and try some on. I might just need to go down a cup size.

It's just amazing and very sad all at the same time. I do see some implants in my future. Probably as soon as I get to goal. I really don't look right without big'uns. It's just something I've always really had but no longer.

*cry*

I am very sad about mine :( Many moons ago I lost 50lbs and my boobs didn't move from their 42F size so I had a breast reduction and have been a very happy 38D since! Well over the years and more and more weight I did go back up to a 42D. Now I'm down 50lbs and back to a 38 but I'm not a full D anymore and they seem to be getting smaller and smaller everyday :( I didn't go through that painful of a surgery to lose them all now :( I got to thinking about it though, before it took me over a year to lose those 50lbs and now it's only taken me 3 months!

I have noticed mine shrinking quite a bit. They have never been perky, but then at 42DD I was fine with that. I have been avoiding bra shopping even though I definately need a smaller size. I am going to have to invest in a good bra to perk the ladies back up while I still have some. I still have 75 pounds to lose, so you know I will have no boobies once I lose all my weight!

38DD --> 34D so far. Still look nice in a bra, but the skin is definitely looser and a bit wrinkly now. It's only obvious if I wear something tight that cuts across them, though, like some of those one-piece swimsuits that are meant for actual lap swimming.

Mine aren't shrinking as much as I thought they would, but they definitely are not pointing in the right direction. I think my DH was more worried about what was going to happen to the girls post-op than I was!

You ladies make me worry. I am not very gifted to begin with (the quintessential pear shape), but I am sure it will be worth it.

Whew my DD girls have finally left the building, but it's a good thing. I was up to a 40 DD, then 38 DD, then a 36-34 DD (depending on style), and now I'm not sure of my exact size, but my bras starting feeling big again. I did finally buy a 38 full C minimizer last night and the back seems big since it's on the last hooks with ease, so I'm thinking I'm a 36 or 34 C ??? right where I would LOVE to be and where I was in my 20's, size wise that is...the girls have been through A LOT since then LOL (2 pregnancy's, 2 biopsy, weight gain, weight loss, poor girls LOL). I need to go for a proper fitting soon.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
