Wow, I wouldn't have minded losing a little bit on mine, lol. But nope, I have been a DD for years and even after over 100 pounds lost, I continue to be a DD. I just wish the girls were firm, but they definitely lay down when I do now, lol.

I have bruised my shoulders because I will misjudge the area I need to go around a corner and run into the wall. I definitely won't be wearing heels for awhile! smile.png

Me too! I keep doing that! I misjudge corners a lot and walk into the wall! I have even found that when I go up stairs I lean to the left and have to catch myself falling into the railing! Had no idea it as because of the center of gravity thing. I also have gotten quite the case of butterfingers too... I drop things a lot and cant seem to hold on to things like before.

I was a solid 40c or d and now, 50 pounds down, I am a 38c. I was a 34c when I was young and skinny so I hope that I stay a c cup and just go down in circumference! I bet it will a 34 long though! lol

This is too funny. When I was younger I considered my hair to be "long" if it covered my boobs. Sometime in my early 30s I realized my hair WAS long again... and it was my boobs that were lower. That was a big reality check! I'm not worried as much about loosing my boobs as I am about having natural geographic boobs!

This topic and reading the responses is hilarious!!! I appreciate the feedback.

My husband will be happy to know that I will be running into walls as well as being a spaz getting out of the recliner. Butterfingers? maybe.... lol. He is going to have a field day!

So my brain is slow catching up, that is good to know too! lol. Too funny.

Anyone else have issues with center of gravity? blush2.gif

Well I am only 3 wks out and already they are geographically lost AND they are getting longer by the day. However, thanks to a breast reduction years ago , they can only elongate so much. tounge_smile.gif I will take the socks if I lose the obesity. :-)

Yes I did lose my boobs as I lost weight... unfortunately or fortunately, just depends how you view it. I say fortunately. I started around 44D's and ended up Size 34B flats... They looked like 2 deflated shrivelep up balloons... you know how when you have a regular rubber balloon blown up and let it deflate on its own? It just has that demoralized pathetic look to it and when you touch it, it's like touching an old womans butt.

Aaanyway, I just got mine fixed. Thank goodness I didn't need a lift or anything. I got a simple breast augmentation and got 550cc silicone implants placed on top of the muscle. Surgeon said since I wasn't getting a lift that's how he should place them. He did great. The only bad thing about it is it added 6 Lbs to my body weight... LOL!!! I'm now a 32/34DDD(F).

Everything's fixable! That's what I always say. ;)

PS this is the bra I was using before my breast augmentation. It even got too big in the breasts before I got out of it, if you can believe it. That's how fast my boobs shrank. In fact it wasn't even until the last 50 Lbs weight lost that my boobs disappeared. LOL!!!! You can find this bra at Kohl's.

Don't panic over your boobs shrinking. Marilyn Monroe was the queen of sexy and many think she still is. She was 36 bust 23 waist and 34 hips. If I can achieve that, I will be so happy. Many think she had the perfect body. So I say let them shrink. I don't want to be a Pam Anderson and look top heavy. I like sleeping on my stomach too much. LOL.

I had a breast reduction a few years ago. My plastic surgeon told me that in order to know how much you will lose or gain in your breasts is based on their composition. Some women have more fat and some people have more breast tissue. You can burn fat but not tissue. So if you lose a lot of weight and your breasts don't shrink, it means yours are made up of more tissue than fat. At least that is what she told me!

      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.
