The girls are sad and deflated!

So I'm 9 weeks out today and I'm down 41 lbs and I think most of it came from top and a little from the stomach (it is a lot flatter) but still, so now it looks like I have these large arms still (bat wings) and these nice big thunder thighs!! But I guess I can say I'm thankful for this new waist that's reappearing!!! Maybe I will go but me a few new bras with padding!?!?! LoL I guess we can't pick where the weight comes off first!! Thumbs down :P

Ahhh...yes...that has happened to many a pair of girls post sleeve. :wacko:

While my girls used to converse with my belly button they are now getting to know my kness.......sigh..... :o

I try to stay positive about them and wake up every morning and rolls those little girls up and place them in my bra and they don't move for the day.

The upshot is the weight is coming off and I dream of getting those girls lifted and perky :) although I probably won't. :(

Keep up the great work and good luck with the girls!

Love it!!! You absolutely get it :)

I'm almost 6 months out, loving my bones but my girls are having the same discussions that yours are, lol. My deflated bum is more of a problem as sitting on my tailbone gets pretty sore - trying to build muscle to get a bit of non-fat padding going.

I didn't think I would bother with cosmetic surgery for my boobs but given that I am rolling and tucking, I've decided to have them reduced and lifted in the New Year. After that, I will happily live with all the other wrinkly, droopy bits ;-)))))

I have gone down several sizes in bras as they have gone down as well....It is painful to watch it happen..But like you..The butt is a big problem..i find it impossible to sit on a hard chair..I have no padding at all...the nurses who looked after me when I came home from the hospital told me they could see my ass deflating every day...They would laugh and I would sigh....

I am having trouble with perimeter as well..I have a lot of bruising due to bumping into stuff......I am so planning on tucking everything away and having a plastics help me deal with most of it..Thank you lord for plastics!!!!!!!

Hubby says he's now married to a 50 year old man :-(. No boobs, no butt. I don't mind so much though. Padded bras help.

Plastics worked for my. Perky is much better for me. Thankfully I has a good plastic surgeon that could do mine without implants.

I found out it was time for some new bras when I reached for a bowl on a upper kitchen cabinet and the girls fell south out the bottom of the bra I had on! Almost strangled myself! I am 60 yrs. old the only plastic I may have adjusted is my neck. I am out 6 weeks, but have lost 45 pounds total, 25 of it since surgery. Poor girls will have to suffer.

Sometimes our girls have a mind of their own.

My girls have always been sad and deflated! LOL! I never got the "filler" to make them pretty and plump during puberty. Mine have always drooped. With my belly right now, they sit nicely close to where they belong. I can only imagine who they will be talking to months after my surgery- most likely my ankles!. :D

Okay, so my boobs were all tennis ball in a tube sock until somewhere between one and two years post op. Then, BAM, almost overnight it seems like they filled back out. My fat redistributed and I had a nice cup size and not nearly as much sag. I even got more of my hourglass back and my hind end stopped being a pancake.

It can get better, so here's hoping.

Now, post baby? That's another story. I cry a little on the inside every time I look at them these days.

I have never had big boobs, always bothered me since I had big everything else, after kids they got better, but apparently mother nature is cruel and that is the first place I lost weight after surgery wtf... I have plenty of weight elsewhere that needs to go and it started there..... *sigh* when all is said and done with weight loss I may invest in a boob job if I need to go under to have skin removed anyhow....

  • 2 months later...

This makes me sad... Well just one more thing to add to the plastics wish list along with extra skin.

But how bad is the scarring if you get them lifted? I mean, it would be nice if I didn't have to tuck them into my waistband anymore ;) , but I don't want a bunch of big scars either!

I had a friend who got a reduction and lift (obviously her boobs were far from deflated, so I don't know if that matters) but the inscians were underneath and really minimal once healed.

I was a cup size "C" at twelve years old, so I've been boobilicious for over 40 years! and saggy for most of it! lol The first thing my boyfriend asked me when I told him that I was getting the VSG was "are they going to go away?". Priorities! lol I told him that I doubted it since I've had them for so long, and I was pretty small body wise at 12. So far, I've lost only around my band size and MAYBE one cup size? Considering I was a G-H, I don't think that's much of a loss. Put on a pretty bra, put the girls in place and I look pretty darned good "in clothes". lol not sure I'd ever put a knife to my "girlfriends"!

Remember....Any woman with large PERKY breast are either younger than 20 or they aren't real! lol
