I have two friends who had the bypass; they both say they have to roll up the boobs and put in the bra!

Your boobs are mostly fat.

OMG I have been saying that... just roll them up and stuff in the bra! Family finds it funny. Daughter wants me to be able to jump on trampoline with her. I tell her when I am within weight limits... but then I have to be carefull not to knock myself out with my "skin skirt"

I wonder if there is any weight training that we can do to maybe "pump" the girls up lol

My surgery is scheduled for may 31 and after reading all of these post I'm gonna talk to my trainer and get him working on a Boob program haha

I have been a DD since I was 15 regardless if I was 135lbs or 300lbs. Now, I'm down Almost a 100lbs and they are so gross. They look like deflated balloons. My boobs were always my 'good feature'. Not any more.

I will be buying new ones too.

I'm with you!! I call mine my pancakes or my fried eggs. They are so gross!! I used to be a 40H and I am down to a 38D and need to go bra shopping ASAP because the D cup is sagging in on my saggy lady lumps. I think the only option is implants...not sure I want to go there. We shall see!!

I have lost in my legs, feet hands and yes boobs. Mine are flat and worst of all they are pointing to the ground!!!! I was a 50DDD and am now a 46DD. I think bras are going to be a huge expense. I know that getting excess skin off my arms and then my boobs, followed by skin skirt area are what I am hoping to take care of when done losing. I think I need a winning lottery ticket!!! LOL

I also am not losing much in my tummy or belly area. :(

I love you ladies sense of humor. I have not had my surgery yet but I am also concerned about my boobs. I loss 25 lbs last year and my significant other told me my chest looked flat. Im in a 38D now but I dont want to be smaller than a C cup. I guess the boobs have to go on my list of things to plan for.

My bewbs are sooo ethiopianesque! Def gonna need some surgery there .my biggest issue there is I have developed a fold that is under my arm as well...ugh...

Did have a friend who mention that just a lift would leave my bewbs at about a small b- and hubby looked so sad! I may end up with silicone as well.

Running and other things is just the reason I DON'T want the melons. They get in the way and a B is a decent handful ;-)

For me it's my boobs and my thighs..40 pounds and they are already droopy . I wonder if I will need Lipo. I have another 70 to lose so I'm trying to wait and see.

You can run with boobs guys. Just gotta have a really good bra. I played basketball and soccer in high school and had D's then.

I'm a 46h so far I'm not down a cup size but I can fasten the back strap to the tightest notch instead of the first one. I've lost about 50lbs included when I started my pre op diet March 23rd. (Sleeve done may 9th). I have talked to a trainer that chest exercise can help tighten skin. I actually prefer smaller boobs, I just want perky ones that I don't have to special order bras

I'm was a 38 DD before surgery, currently a 34DD. I'm one of those that no matter what I weigh, they stay. I wouldn't mind if they went down to a regular D, but I guess Im in the minority on that! LOL!!

I started out a 44H & they were still pouring over the top & sides. Now they fit into the cups nicely, BUT they are like tube socks now :( and my hubby said "oh well, their perkiness was an anomaly to begin with.after breastfeeding 4 kids" as of its no biggie. He is really not a fan of fake boobs so he doesn't want me tp get them, but I already told him tough !! Saline, here I come!

      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. 💗

      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.
