So funny this topic showed up today! I just saw a girlfriend I hadn't seen since before surgery, and the first thing she said was "Where're your boobs?" I am down to a DD from a DDD cup, but she made me unzip my sweater to prove they hadn't disappeared completely!

Lol, yeah, sad but true. Mine have gone south too. Already looking for a surgeon for a lift. Unfortunately, when they get smaller, the extra skin that was stretched with them doesn't disappear.

I'm still early but I hope that I don't lose too much because I'm a big c/ lil D cup so I don't have much anyways. I just want a little bit of cleavage left.

I didn't like the shape of my boobs pre-op so I'm pretty sure post-op I won't feel much differently. I hope to get a lift (possibly implants too depending on how deflated they get) once I lose all the weight and stabilize. And save money for it. I know with a lift I'll have scars. It sucks.

I keep reading about all of these woman talk about their boob sizes. I know they will get smaller in size but are you ladies working out and working out those pectoral muscles?

I work out 1-3 hours per day including lifting (pecs are nice and strong-- with floppy pancakes attached). I also wear compressions everyday and take good care of my skin.... If you have a miracle exercise to add to my regimen, PLEASE let us know! Have you found the secret and aren't sharing???

No ma'am. I'm only two weeks post op. Haven't gotten the okay yet to work out. I guess it depends on the size from beginning to end and how fast the weight comes off, everyone is different.

Unfortunately breast tissue doesn't contain muscle so you can't work it out. When you lose the fat that is also In there with the breast tissue you get deflation. All exercise can do is make the muscle underneath stronger but you will still have the slinkys attached

Oh god...I wouldn't change having done this. But the saggy deflated boobs are a little depressing. I had this conversation with my boyfriend yesterday. He confirmed that they are changing... but assured me that he "still really really likes them" ;):D:(:mellow: I know my insurance will pay for reconstruction. I'll save up for breast surgery. I want to look good in and out of my clothes.

      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.
