I'm worried about my breast size changing. Im not being vain and obviously health is more important but its good to get others opinions. Ive never had large breasts for a bigger woman. I'm more bottom heavy.

I'm 5'9"

268 lbs

My bra size is 38 d

I'm seeing people on here say they went from a DD to a C or B cup..does everyones' shrink that much.

I'm already worried so much about self esteem issues..I struggled with them growing up and now I'm very pleased with my body. I dont want to be rail thin with no breasts :-(

I'm sorry if I sound stupid because I know health is more important but my mental health is important as well. Did you all lose many cup sizes?

You're going to lose weight in your breast area. But everyone is different. this doesn't mean you're going to go for d to b over night.

I have lost about 2/3 of the weight to get to the goal my surgeon set for me... Luckily I have not lost cup size but I have lost band size. I no longer have a roll of fat above or below my bra band. I have also lost my side boob lol... I no longer have that fat that hangs over the top of a tube top lol

I have gone from 46C to currently 38DD. This is due to losing lots of band size (aka back fat). Seeing as how I feel very little cushion on the band are now, I don't see it getting any lower than 38/36 there.

I have lost 80lbs and my cup size is still the same. I have lost in the band part a lot but not actual cup.

I will be very surprised if my boobs shrink because they never do. Even when I was a size zero I still had whats equivalent to a DDD! Large breast run in my family. My boobs will always be large for my frame no matter how skinny I get. My bra that I'm currently wearing is a 36K, I think that's a 36DDDD in old sizing charts. I've lost 50 pounds and the only thing that has gone down in my band size lol. I think soon I may need to go down to a 34K (34DDDD). My breast have gotten longer though :/ I will definitely need a breast lift but I personally don't ever want to be smaller than a DD so I don't want a reduction. *not sure if that last part made sense*

I've lost 57 pounds so far and have only gone dow one band size :-( I suppose I'm of the few who wants to see my boobs shrink a major amount.

I went from 44 to 36 in band size and stil wear the same cup size, but it is a little big. Not big enough to go down a cup size though.

It surprised me I didn't lose more because when I was young and thin in my 20s, I wore a much smaller cup size.

I went from a OVERFLOWING 38DD to a 34 DD. 34 D cup is too small and I am no longer overflowing in the DD's! :( They went from firm and full to long and skinny! LOL

I went from a 44H to a 32D. And that D is just loose skin. The surgeon said I would be a B or maybe an A at this point if she just took the loose skin and didn't add an implant. Uhhhh, sign me up for those implants!!! I'm waiting for a year I think, but it WILL happen. The thought of dating with the current conditions... Scary. I'm going to stay a d cup but add an implant and take away the loose skin.

This is gonna sound weird, but so far I have gone from a 44C to a 38D. I was wearing "full figured" bras and I swear to god the cup size on them is larger than a normal bra. They were so big over the weekend I had to go buy new bras. At first I was upset because I thought my boobs were fading away, but when I started trying in all the normal 38C's they were all too small. Into a 38D and perfecto. I hope the cup size stays and just the band continues to shrink.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
