The girls are sad and deflated!



Recommended Posts

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!

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....

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 am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
