For Those Who Aren't Shy--Tell Me About Boobs



Recommended Posts

Well, the smallest cup size I even recall wearing as a 4th grader was a c cup! Now I wear a 42 DDD. I just had my sleeve, but I hope my boobs completely disappear! My shoulders & back are tired. I'm sick of carrying all this weight on my shoulders-literally! Whatever is left after I hit goal will be lifted & reduced down to a small c cup. I lost 120 lbs some years ago, and my boobs stayed the same size. If they don't disappear this time, my friendly neighborhood plastic surgeon will snip & clip! :)

Lol, well I can do the same. Due to the testosterone levels men have. When we lose weight man boobs are reduced severely they prolly drop down to A-cups lol... Also this drastic change has a lot to do with weightlifting activity, nutrition and effort

There u go :)

Hahaha...thanks! We don't want anyone to have to wear a "Bro!" (reminds me of that Seinfeld when Kramer invents the man bra... :lol: )

I've seen some men's man boobs after surgery. They, too, look like they have droopy tits when it's over. I'm sure some men don't have that problem.

As far as my boobs go, I wear a D/DD and when I lost a lot of weight before they were still a C/D. I am hoping that's where they will be when I'm done losing.

I've lost 7 inches from my breasts, but my cup size is still a D. My actual cup size before surgery may have been higher, but I was wearing a 40D. I'm now in a 34 to 36 D.

The nice thing is that my breasts have lost proportionately with the rest of my body. I am not pointing south, but I have noticed that they are a bit deflated compared to before.

I haven't ruled out a lift or fill in my future, but I said that even before my WLS. :)

I am still wearing my pre-surgery bras, but need to buy smaller (trying to use clothes as long as possible). Obviously I am on the smallest hook now, but there is definitely a little more room in the cup.

I had a reduction almost two years ago, which was wonderful. I went from a too-small DDD to a D, having almost four pounds removed from each breast. Hopefully I will end up a C. When I had the reduction, I had no plans for weight loss surgery. The surgeon didn't want to make my breasts smaller than a D because of my size.

The breast reduction of course included a lift, so they are up where they belong. When I look at the way my clothes fit, I have to say that the breast reduction adds as much to a better fit as the weight loss. And of course, exercise is much easier without the burden of overlarge breasts.

Well pre-surgery I was a 46DDD. Now I have lost 107 pounds and I am a 42DD and sometimes I feel like I could go down to a 42D. I have been totally ok with the boobage amount I've lost. My back feels so much better. I do hope when it's all said and done and I get closer to goal that I keep some of what I got. My man loves boobs, gotta have something to work with lol

I don't know what's going to happen here, but my husband is predicting my boobs are going to look like tube socks!

Well I've never been overly busty, and 83lb later I have a drawer full of VERY padded bras! Last fitting I was a 36c, although I'm actually somewhere between a b and a c cup, however they have dropped a good chunk, although I am small enough to go bra-less it makes me look bottom heavy and gaunt on top.

I'd not consider a boob job, big bras are good enough at boosting what I've got, but if I had the money I'd go for a Tummy Tuck and some contouring Lipo to even things out. Good luck discovering your new shape! ;)

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
