Stretch marks and boobs question



Recommended Posts

Do stretch marks go away? I've had them for about 5 years, some newer than others but my whole stomach is covered cause basically all my weight is in my tummy and boobs. Which brings me to the next question. I have DDD when you ladies lose weight do the boobs shrink? Or just become inflated flabby balloons...I really hope I won't have to wear a few bras to hold all the skin...

No they don't. But they get smaller as you lose weight. People who aren't even fat get them too so don't stress out about it. My husband has them and he has never been fat.

I don't know about stretch marks but I do know your boobs will get smaller and sag. I was a 44DD though I haven't brought a new bra yet. I know I'm much smaller maybe a 38D. Today makes 2 months sleeve for me

Unfortunately stretch marks don't go away, they do fade some but there will always be there. Just think of them as your "battle scars". Embrace them is my advice... most people do have them somewhere on their body. Good luck with your weight loss :)

I have been sleeved for a month. I have been using coco butter the type u use when your preg. It won't take them away but it had been helping them fade. The ones on my arms aren't as noticeable. And as you get smaller it helps keep the skin stay moisterized. Also I take 5000mg Biotin for my skin and hair. Hopefully this helps you. And my doc says drinking Water helps with skin to.

Tom Conti in Shirley Valentine calls them 'lines of life'. I like that.

You have stretch marks forever. My breasts are definitely low and deflated now, but I can still 'pour' them into a bra just fine. They are much more liquid rather than firm, but there are lots of women who have plastic surgery to increase breast firmness or to regain size after surgery. I won't be going that way because I will breastfeed when I have children.

Mine have gone from 44dd to 38c so far. It is nice to have the smaller bras but boy do they need some good support now! I guess my fat was holding them up, because they are very deflated! Lol. I'm doing a lot with weights like chest presses but not sure if it is helping!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
