Hey guys,

I know this may sound weird but I'm almost 3 months out and my bra size hasn't changed. I mean there is a little more room at the top and on the sides, but seriously, same bra size! Pant sizes have changed, but nope nothing in the boob department. I mean, I know some people may think that's a weird thing to complain about but I was hoping it would go down at least some. I don't mind if my boobs go down a cup size or so. Does it just hit you all of a sudden when you are farther out or what?

I didn't have big boobs, but I finally had to buy some bras at 10 months out. I was a 40 d. Now I am a Victoria secret 36 d. I suspect these will last me forever.

Good Question!

I am 4 months out and have lost 3 sizes on the bottom and only 1 size on top. My bras fit better now, so I guess I was wearing the worn size before surgery.

**Wrong not worn**

If my boobs stay the same size I will not be able to walk upright.

I'm 3 months out and went from a 42DD to 40D with 64 pounds down but I guess what I lost was my fat cells maybe u have a lot of mammary glands?

Havw you tried a smaller bra just for giggles? I *thought* mine hadn't changed, until I pulled out my box of pre pregnancy clothes and tried on one of the bras - it offered a lot more support and it makes the girls look great! They're swimming in my pre-op bras now.

I lost inches everywhere else except my boobs at first. I would find smaller tops that fit my waist and hips but were too small for my boobs. Now at 4 months out I have gone from at 42C to a 38C.

I am 5 months out and in the same bras.. Mine were so tight before they hurt.. No they are getting big , but I am just going to hook them tighter for now.

if your boobs are more tissue then fat then this is normal. you wont lose tissue. I have the same thing going on. I was a 44 dd, and now after losing 118 I am a 38dd. I am soooo happy that the girls havent gone away, but I will still need a lift and I will probably add a little implant too once I get to goal cause when they take away the skin my boobs will definatly be smaller. I want to stay at least a d cup. I plan on getting a tummy tuck too

I only have about another 35 pounds to lose before I get it because some of my weight i need to lose is extra skin in the tummy and boobs. I am really fortunate to be getting some back pay of $30,000+ that my job owes me here in a few months so I am hoping that I will be at goal by then so I can spend that money on my body! I have such a possitive outlook on life now knowing that I am so close to what I have desired for more then 16 years!

Be happy your not losing your girls, there are so many women that say that those are the first to go for them. I know my doc told me mine was going to disapear...hehe lucky me he was wrong!

sorry this is so long....just cant contain my joy!!! the sleeve is a beautiful thing!

My band size has gone from a 46 to a 42, but my cups are still an F. They just don't look as firm as before though. I think maybe I should of had a bigger cup before and now they fit right.

Also, did you consider that maybe you current bras have stretched? I recently bought a new bra. It is exactly the same size brand, model, etc. as my old one. But the new one is so much tighter, it is uncomfortable!

Bras are made of material that do stretch and give (some more than others). It makes sense that over time,they will stretch out a bit. Especially if you put them in the dryer (I stopped doing that years ago and find my bras last MUCH longer and don't change sizes every time I wash them, like some of my pants and tops do.

I see these articles every year, but there are estimates that 80-85% of women are not wearing the correct bra size. In fact, they say that you should probably be measured twice a year. I only go about 12-18 months without getting measured, but can attest that my size keeps changing (since I keep gaining weight). So, when was the last time you got measured by a professional? I find that Nordstrom's lingerie staff are really good, unlike most department store staff. Don't feel pressured to buy from them, but if you don't have a local shop that specializes in bras locally, Nordstroms is a great bet. If you are busty, I'm particularly fond of the Elomi brand. They hoist the girls up! As you continue to lose weight, go back and get remeasured more frequently than twice a year.

Here is a link to the Oprah site with some info on this:

I don't think it's wierd. I'm 9+ months out (96# down) and it took months and months for me to move from 42DDD to 38DD. I've been loosing fat around the back but the girls are pretty intransigent...

I went to victorias secret and got measured, they actually have bras for bigger gals, they just keep them in back instead of out on the racks. Lane Bryant also measures for the correct size, both places are really pricy, but I have noticed that they dont wear out or strech as fast as the cheap ones. I paid 50 bucks at victorias secret for a bra, but I love it so much, and it keeps the girls perky too. so to me it was totally worth every penny!
