Please excuse the bold language! I have a question for the woman...sorry fellas :) I have a love hate relationship with my breast. when I was a teen I went to sleep and woke up in a D cup, now 11 yrs later I am in a 38jj. Whenever I lost weight prior my boobs barely changed. I would LOVE for them to go down during this transition but I still want something (my trademark) what are some of the changes some of you noticed when the weight started to come off? My fears are I will be 160 lbs w/ JJs or 160 lbs w/ As...ideally I would like to be 160 lbs w/ Ds or DDs...but realistically I know time will only tell...thought it would be an,interesting topic!

LOL - great thread! Ya, I seem to lose from the top on down - my boobs are now skin that want to point at the ground. They do fill my DDD cups but even my husband told me yesterday my bra is too big.

Yep, you'll lose some, for sure, but I think if you always had big ones, you're still going to have some when you're done. It's not only the size; it's also the texture and directional change, if you get my drift--sagging is pretty common and there's not a lot that can be done about that nonsurgically. I'm a big believer in great, expensive, well-made bras; that's my new indulgence, since food isn't such an expense any more.

Ha! Yes! I've had five babies(nursed them all) and they're still in very nice shape BUT I wear a GOOD bra night and day. I'm hoping hoping this weightloss won't be any different. :)

I used to have glorious perky DDD's.

Now they are like a baseball in a tube sock.

Get used to buying new bras and shelling out a pretty penny.

If youre so inclined... start saving for plastics too!

I was a DD before and I'm still a D or DD (depends on the type of bra) but I went down from a 44 to a 36 around. Gravity is definitely NOT my friend, but I still have a lot up top. I think everyone is different so you will just figure out where you are when you get there!

Well, I'm sad to say that not only have I lost significant boobage, my butt decided to join the girls! There is not much left. :( its like my legs just keep going. I think I'm sadder about my booty than the boobies. At least I can put on a pretty bra and pretend. There's nothing that's going to camouflage the lack of buttness.

I'm worried about this too as I feel big tatas of some of my trademark as well. However, I think part of my pride in my chest is due to shame about the other parts of my body so that's what I've always marketed to men and, consequently, gotten the most attention for.

I've lost 80 (65 pre-op) and it was the first area I started losing. I've whined a lot about my shrinking boobies. Every time I've worn a bathing suit this summer someone has commented about it. Although, they actually FIT in my bathing suit tops now instead of fall out. lol I think everyone is different. My aunt, who was banded and lost 90, has maintained most of her chest so she tells me not to worry.

I went bra shopping at a week post-op and, much to my delight, I went down a band size but was still in a DDD right now. But I do feel like my bras just one size bigger are huge on me. I just wish I could lose something in my hips because I was always proportionate and now I'm becoming pear shaped (not in a good way).

My weight is coming off slow and steady, but I have definitely lost some of my boobs. That is totally fine with me as I stopped buying bras at a double D and started wearing sports bras.

At this point, things look pretty decent. I have noticed a few stretch marks showing as they are shrinking which I don't love, but overall I am pleased they are not hanging on the floor.

I keep reminding myself that just about anything can be corrected in the future once my weight loss is complete. :)

I am 48 DD right now, and they're already pretty saggy. I'm hopeful that they may perk up, LOL. I am thankful for this thread, though: this is something I've been wondering about myself!

      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.
