When I was fat I wore a 42DD. I have lost about 55 pounds and I needed a new bra. I went and bought a 38DD and I have found that the cup size is wrong, I am falling over the top of the bra. I might need to find a 38DDD/38E.

Has anybody heard of this? Could my cup size really be larger now?

Totally. I was very confused about this, too.

I went from a 42DD/E to a 36/38 F.....

Who knew this would happen. It was our friend on here Indigo, who told me that the more we lose our cup size goes up.

I can't get my head around an F.. Let alone a G if my back size drops any more! :blink:

Yes my cup size has gone up a size. It is very strange to me.

The cup size represents the difference/proportion between the measurement around your rib cage under your breast and the measurement around the fullest point of your breast. So if you lose proportionally more around your rib cage, then yes your cup size will go up. But if you lose proportionally more around the fullest part/top of your breast, than your cup size will go down as you lose weight. So it just depends on luck/genetics I guess.

Since it looks like you have more weight to lose (from your ticker anyway) your cup size might go back down even. This weight loss stuff is crazy!

I was a 42 GG in the Elomi bras pre surgery. Now I'm a 36 G. My boobs are like two deflated balloons. :-(

I am afraid or what will happen to my boobs once I start dropping weight post op. I am a 40H now. I may have to forgo surgery to remove the extra skin and instead pay to have my boobs put back up where they belong! I have always been busty and even in high school I wore a DD+.

Lucky! I wish my cup size went up...I went from a 50DDD to a 46C lol what gets me is the sagging more than the cup size. Hopefully when the weight is all off I can qualify for a breast lift and a Tummy Tuck. (Fingers are crossed)

I too went from a 44DD to now a 38DD and i spill a little but i think its from all the sagging. I have to pull all that up into my bra. Just excess skin, i dont think its thats ive grown but shrunk with all the extras. Just my thought anyway.

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

      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! 😞
