Did My Boobs Just Get Bigger?



Recommended Posts

So I haven't been buying bras lately because they're too freaking expensive and I'm losing weight. So I eventually got down to 2. Both were the same size, but one was far too big while the other fit fine. This morning I'm getting dressed and I realize that the underwire in my good bra snapped and there's no repairing it.

I go to Torrid to find a new bra. I was wearing 44DD before my surgery, three months and more than 30 lbs ago. The sales girl measures me at a 44D. I grab a 44D and a 44DD and try them on. Neither fit. Both are too small. Frustrated I grab a 44DDD and it fits! WTF? How did my boobs manage to go up a cup size when I've gone down two dress sizes?

Has anyone had this happen to them? I am baffled. Also, I'm 27 and well beyond the age where I could possibly get a final growth spurt.

Not to burst your bubble but I have had this happen to me before and I figured out Bra's are made by different manufacturers just like other clothes we buy, how many times have you tried on a certain size within a certain brand and you always wear that size but if you go to a different brand that size you've been wearing no longer fits. Go back to your original brand and see what size works for ya. I hope what I said was understandable.

maybe see if you can just find the underwires, or take out of an old bra. i swear the bras are getting smaller every year

Haha...cracked me up. Boobs growing is something I know about. I was a 36f at 14 and had a reduction at 16. Every time I lose weight, it seems the weight navigates to the boobs, then jumps ship. The plastic surgeon said its uncommon but breasts can be mystical (which at 16 sounded uber creepy to me).

I think I would cry if I was losing weight and dress sizes (haven't been sleeved yet) and my boobs were getting bigger! I'm looking forward to getting rid of some of my girls! They hurt me!

But like someone else mentioned brands do make a difference! So that might be something to look into!

I agree with Joseph, we needs pics, before and after prefereably from many angles :)

Nice try, fellas. But no. My boobs aren't that great to begin with.

Anyway, the bras were the same brand. I really love Torrid clothing and I get most of my clothes from there. The only non-Torrid bra I have is a Maidenform bra which is a 44DD and is now too big.

Unless something else happens, I'm just going to let it go. Bigger boobs aren't really a health issue.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
