female only For Women only...sorry guys!

Ok, hopefully it is all just women looking here.... Has anyone as they lost weight had pain and discomfort in their breasts? I think mine are shrinking some and I do feel some pain...at first it scared me, but it goes away and it changes from one to the other..rarely on both sides.

The other thing is I was banded Nov 7 and I still feel left shoulder pain, especially if I maybe ate a bit too much...is this normal after almost 2 months?

Thanks!

Sorry, it seems like this is an uncommon symptom as no one has posted for a few hrs. Hang in there, tomorrow someone may relate to this. I understand that we store estrogen in our fat supply and as we loose, we get a surge in this hormome. Perhaps you are sensitive to this. If the pain persist, I would check with my band Dr. and then my gyno. Another thought, are you sleeping in very different positions from before the surgery? I was and I got sore in other spots, but now things are totally better. Hope you feel better soon!

I Haven't Had The Breast Discomfort But I Definately Have The Shoulder Pain. I Too Get It If I Eat Something That Doesn't Agree With Me Or I Eat Too Much. Exercising Every Day Helps Alot. I Have Been Banded For 5 Months And It Is Still An Issue. Good Luck, I Hope This Helped.

No breast discomfort here either. My breasts are getting smaller and drooping a bit (which does not make me happy) I bought some hand weight to try and tighten and firm everything up. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

i get pain in my boobs

i think its caused by Fluid retention as i am really bad at drinking enough and believe it or not doc says that you need to drink enough or body stores fluid:confused: .

i also get pain in shoulder but only if i have eaten too fast and then when i get signal that im full its too late and im too full :faint: but im watching what i eat so thankfully it not agony more just discomfort

Thanks Everyone! Could be the estrogen being stored in fat...I almost forgot that it of course could cause PMS-like symptoms such as breast discomfort. I will also watch how I am sleeping.< /p>

I get pain in my breasts when I am premenstrual. I am also not banded yet. I also had this type of pain when I first got preganant and there was a surge in my hormone level. So, it could well be the surge in estrogen that is being released from your fat stores. Do you notice it more before and on your period?

I can't address the pain issue, but my breasts have been shrinking. They always do when I lose weight. Why couldn't my butt be shrinking? GRRR!

I know...I wish my butt shrank faster...I am pear shape so no matter what it will always be too big!:party:
