Bye bye boobies



Recommended Posts

So I typically wear sports bras on a daily basis cause thy are so much comfier. But when I dress up, I wear a regular pretty, lacy bra that lifts and separates.... Accentuate the assets! Last Friday night I was getting dressed to go out and discovered my bra was saggy and the wrinkles showed through the thin sweater I had on. So I tried another bra...and another...and another! 5 bras later I finally came to terms with the fact I am now a very sad, saggy, droopy C cup (I ranged between D and DD preop) Looks like I gotta start saving my pennies for new "unmentionables".

I finally broke down and bought myself some new bras, made me feel like a new woman! I also moved from a solid D into a C, but my band size didn't decrease that much.

I'm about to invest in my 3rd set of bras--- I wish they had trade-in value bc I enjoy nice unmentionables. ;)

OMG Trade in value would be awesome. Those puppies are so expensive!

I have always had HUGE breasts~ When my, now 24 year old, daughter was about 4, she was in a dressing room with me at Lane Bryant and she LOUDLY told me "Mommy when I grow up, I want boobs as long as yours!" I secretly hoped she would get them but she didn't. She's 5'9 and maybe 110 pounds..... I'm not certain she's really my kid~ LOL!

I went from a 50H to a 46 D.... I look like I have deflated balloons that I could tuck into my pants.... OK, maybe not that extreme.

It's sad, so sad. My meager boobies are just starting to shrink. I'm only a C but I'm hoping that with specific exercises that at least my lil bitties will be somewhat perky still.

Or not :-(

I am two years postop...went from 46DD to a 36B. Yes, you read that right. Finally had to go to a "specialty" lingerie store to get fitted. I had a pladtic surgery consult - surgeon says I'd most likely be a 34B-A once all the sagging leftover tissue was removed. Seriously, I have to wear 2 bras most of the time because I just have empty sacks for breasts now.

This has been the most depressing part of my surgery journey. Think I'll go cry in my (B) cup now.

I want to bring up the wonders of Avocado! I was surprised that I had gone from a close to 40DD to a 34DD after 120+ pound weight loss! I got measured several times because I thought it was impossible for me to not at least go down to a D. My breasts have surely 'thinned' out, but I wouldn't say they're empty sacks. My cousin told me maybe it's because I ate a lot of avocado. I usually have it twice a week or so...which I guess isn't a crazy amount, but maybe more so than people who aren't used to eating it. She had also lost a lot of weight but completely lost her breasts. The avocado is the only thing we really did differently, and I looked it up.

And yes...Avocado actually does help preserve and promote breast size.

Just search avocado breast growth, and you'll see tons of articles on it. So there is still hope, even for those who think they have lost their boobs for good. Lots of good boob foods in the article, not just avocados :) Check it out!

Thank you VeronicaN! I like avocado, I'll have to check out the article, if it helps my girls, it's worth it. I also started taking liquid collagen w/biotin, hoping that also helps with skin tightening and Hair loss. Thanks again :-)

Oh! I've been interested in liquid collagen for a while. Have you seen any difference in using it or know anyone who you know it's worked for? I've been kinda skeptical...but really curious. I really want to believe in it :P

I have this area right above my belly button that will not go away! Any ideas (besides surgery) to make this go away?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
