Are My Books Going To Get Super Small?!



Recommended Posts

Ok, do a friend of mine freaked me out this weekend and asked me what my husband will think when I lose the books. I responded to her that I wasn't expecting to lose them. She shared that she had a friend who went through the surgery and they went down dramatically. Listen, I want them to.be smaller but I certainly.want to remain very curve. What has everyone else experienced?

You are worried about your boobs, but overall you want them to be proportionate to the rest of of your body. I have lost girth, but started with a 40DD and am know wearing a 34DD. The breasts are there, (also post menopausal) so they are not perky anymore, but in clothes of course they still look proportionate. I would say they are like giant skin tags, but look great rolled up into a good bra. I used to be a 40DD wide and now am a 34DD long.. :-)

I highly doubt I will lose my boobs. Even when I was skinny size 8 I had DDD breast. Women in my family are very busty naturally. When I lose weight my boobs don't shrink. I do know of some people who gained weight and their breast got larger but as soon as they lose the weight they shrink but I think those are people who were a A and B cup when they were smaller. My breast have never been smaller than a DD so I doubt that these girls are going anywhere. I currently wear a size 36K and this is in the new bra sizing where bras that used to be a size B are now considered a D. My boobs hopefully will shrink back down to a DDD or i.

I was an A cup before falling pregnant and getting fat, was fat for 6 years, first thing to go we're the boobs. I am now down from a C cup, back to an A. They are saggy and deflated. My boobs were obviously 100% fat. Everybody says "wow, look how much weight you've lost... Where did your boobs go?"

I believe you do loose some boob. If you were a 40dd and now your a 34dd, you lost some boob size. Everytime your band gets bigger or smaller, your cup gets bigger or larger with it. A 48A bra would have a way larger cup then a 38A bra. Yeah, i admit, i dont want to loose what little i have, but I'd rather wear a padded bra instead a size 18 skirt. Thats just me.

After 50+ pounds, mine are definitely getting smaller but that's okay with me. It's been so long since I've been even an average size but I think I was a C in high school when I was active. Now I'm a DDD, but that's going down.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
