I was a 44DD with an extender, which probably means a 46DD (

I couldnt bring myself to buy an even bigger bra!) when I had my surgery, I am down 38 pounds and am now at a 42DD w/out extender. I tried on a D and it still doesn't fit :sneaky:

i have went from a 42d to a 38c. and it is prolly more like a b cup but when i tried one on i had some spillage issues that just didnt look right so i stuck with a c. but its kinda too big. i think i will look into those 1/2 size bras i saw advertised.

my chest is so small now! i figured i would lose some in my boobs but not like this! it is really starting to bother me, i think i look funny!

Skinny Mike...I know a young man who had zero body fat...he is a professional dancer/performer...almost too skinny...

He had man boobs so he had plastics done! It is a very delicate procedure...

He told me it is heredity and something like 80% of the male population have the gene for it...It just doesn't always "show up" dpending on BMI etc...

So, it bothered him being that as a dancer you may have costumes that require to be shirt less...

He is happy with the result...

Good Luck!

I got bigger. I went from a 46 C to a 36D. I miss my C cup, I always felt that a C cup was perfect, its big but not too big. But I guess I have to get use to a D cup. I got measured at victoria's secret and I didn't believe her, I went home and measured myself again and it was true. I kinda knew it was coming since I was spilling out of all my 38C bras but its still a surprise.

Every other time in my life when I have lost weight (and that is many times) I always lost in my boobs first. They would shrivel right up. At my normal weight I used to wear a 34 B. At the time I was banded I wore a 42 DD. Currently I'm in a 38 D and it's to loose around the ribs, but the cups still fit fine. This is the first time I've ever retained my cup size with a big weight loss. Personally, I would rather be a 34 B again. I was comfortable with that. My husband would disagree, of course, but I prefer to have less to carry around.

I went from a 44dd to a 38c and I can fit some 36c's. I could probably go smaller but the I need room for the extra skin.

      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.
