Okay I'm sure this topic is covered a lot here so I'm sorry if there is already another post on this. Anyway, I am wondering about how much the girls get deflated. I have had a large chest even when I was not obese in my high school years and all the women in my family are large chested as well. I know to expect them to go down quite a bit. I just want to know if any other women who have always been busty or have big boobs that run in their family have actually experienced that they still are large chested after the weight loss and how much they did go down.

Sorry if I rambled! Lol.

Your band width will probably go down first, followed by your cup size. Speaking from my own experience, I lost 110 pounds. My bra size went from a 42 DD to a 36 D. But I didn't go from a DD to a D until about 90 pounds lost.

I am only 2 months out, but I have gone from a 42DD to a 38DD. For now the cups still runneth over. I'm hoping they stay that way!

I'm down 125 pounds and I went from a 42dd down to a 34c. They are proportionate to my body, so I'm happy with the size reduction. And all the women in my family are big chested.

Thank you so much ladies you guys are giving me some hope! Lol. I'm a 44DDD so it will be interesting to see what I am after most of the weight is off. I'd be fine with a DD or a D even! :)

I was a 44DDD last July. I've lost 85 pounds and am a 38DD now. I look proportionate and am not unhappy with them at all. I am wondering how they'll do - I have about 50 more pounds to go. They have lost some of their own perkiness, but still don't look too bad.

I am 7 1/2 mos out I was a 42 DD,now a 38 DD they have gotten really flabby and hang down on my stomach, but look pretty good when I put on my bra the cups are over filled. I am going to need a breast lift after I reach my goal weight.

Sad sad sad. My poor boobs will never look good without serious support again. They worked hard and served me well and they've been retired for some time but they still looked good. As long as I'm wearing a good bra they still do but getting a bathing suit has been quite a challenge.

I hear you Seela and ShadyLady, I've had saggy "twins" ever since my son was born! They are so saggy already hopefully they can't hang any lower! Lol.

      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.
